  1. Lively characters, snappy dialogue, and snazzy visuals make this an uncommonly fine animation.

    Surprisingly engaging, as is the Paul Simon theme song, and the film is enlivened by flashes of humor just rude enough to delight older children.

    The soundtrack, thick with catchy tunes by artists ranging from P.Diddy to Paul Simon, is a fine counterpoint to the story and visuals.

    I saw this in the cinema when I was 10. :) While it's not Oscar worthy by any means, it was a cute, well-animated and well-thought out film that my friend and I really enjoyed. Expand
