How about a bit of originality for a change?! This is yet another identikit animated production where you have the basics of: a hero with twisted loyalties, a love interest who is tougher than she first appears, a cute animal sidekick, a sexy villainess who has a crush on the main protagonist.. the list goes on. The characters are so obviously ripped off from other very similar films that it quickly becomes wearying, watching them go through the motions of their predictable escapades becomes not a pleasure, but a chore. And there aren't even that many of them, just about three or four passable action sequences that hardly set the pulse racing. And the overuse of the computer graphics in a 2D production wasn't too impressive either. So put it together, and what have you got? An average time-waster, with a handful of amusing one-liners, some pretty good voice overs and a couple of diverting scenes. At best, something to keep the young 'uns happy while daddy has a snooze. But even the kids will be disappointed by the lack of anything resembling a climax, and as soon as the film is finished.. I can guarantee that your brain will already be recording over it. 5/10
