Review the last animated movie you've seen

So,
I begin:

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Funny, heartwarming, a GREAT story and that W&G feeling.

A+

Happy Feet:

Has a couple story problems and some of the character designs are wonky, but it's bravery and more serious storyline makes it stand out from all the other "Cute, fuzzy, wisecracking animal" movies we've been getting so much of. The animation is fantastic too - I'm usually not a fan of photorealism in animated movies but I think it worked well in this one. I really enjoyed it despite it's slightly forced environmental message which seemed rather thrown in.

B+

Nice idea, Groaning.

Cars -

A true John Lasseter film with a fresh supply of heart, laughter, and dedication. Although it is one of my least favorite Pixar films to date, I have to admit that this one surely brought out the smiles in almost everyone. With its clever wit, a wonderful and imaginative story-line, and beautifully designed graphics that are top of its class, Cars is not one to miss. I would also like to say that I no longer look at cars as "boxes on wheels".... Heheh.

B+

Great humor, fun plot, awesome villains, great characterization.

Uh, I'll assume that we're reviewing the last animated movie we've seen "For the first time", correct?

I think so--like in the theaters.

Oops. I guess I should have done a review on Happy Feet then.

I'm sorry, I have to explain some more things:

1. It doesn't have to be the first time you see the movie. (So you can say: After second viewing, the movie was... )
2. It can be also a movie you've seen on DVD, or rented on DVD.
3. It's just not really necessary if it is a movie you watch every week or so.

In another movie forum (www.boxofficefanatic.com) this thread is one of the most popular ones.

Greetings,
Groaning

Mosaic (the new Stan Lee DTV)

The story is good, the characters are good, it's an enjoyable film, but there's just no getting past the hideously weak dialogue. Scott Lobdell (who wrote this and also wrote the X-Men for a number of years) doesn't seem to realize that dialogue that would be OK on the comics page won't necessarily work well in a film. If you can withstand the dialogue, Mosaic merits at least a rental, I think, 'cause they did come up with a neat little plot.

I don't get this thread?

What's not to get, Ben?

What's the point of writing a couple of lines of blurb on a movie when we have more extensive threads dedicated to those movies?

I mean, Vi wrote about Flushed Away, but she's made much better comments in that thread, so additional comments here are...redundant...?

That's all. As I say, I don't get it. Haha.

Well, from what I understand, you could rewatch something like Disney's Robin Hood for the first time in years and review it. Doesn't have to be current films, which is what the movie-specific threads usually deal with.

Right, ANY animated movie you watch is welcome to be reviewed

Flushed Away
(In theatre, with bad german synchro)

B+ or B

Entertaining, had some funny scenes. I loved the slugs. But, the story is average, character delevepmont is almost zero and it has that Dreamworks taste.

One Sentence: Good for watching once.
