He's a complete jerk. In fact, I believe he's the biggest antihero we've ever seen in an animated film. But I'm making Groove sound too serious, when in fact its greatest strength is that they simply go straight for the funny bone. This is the first time I've seen Disney knowingly point out plot inconsistancies for a gag. This movie will do anything for a gag, including slashing and burning the Disney formula.
Predictability goes more or less out the window.
So if you found the frantic gags in other Disney movies annoying, you might have trouble with TENG , but I thought it really worked because this time the animators were able to follow the direction their sensibilities lay, without being shackled by dull, formulaic aspects. To me, this movie proves that most Diz animators would really rather be making WB cartoons. Reviewed by Adam Prosser . Please report any problems to the webmaster . Copyright 1997-2000 Michael Grace.
