“Well, this is one of those films that seems about a step-and-a-half away from being truly great. You have undeniable star power in John Cleese, James Stewart, and Don Bluth regular Dom deLuis. You have a handful of snappy tunes. You have bright colors and technically brilliant animation. Yet I watched it and came away from it thinking, u0026quot;There was something wrong with this flick. What was it?u0026quot; After due deliberations, the answer came to me: the writing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe script is little more than a clothesline on which to hang a series of visual gags and opportunities for Cleese to give his character a few Pythonian scenes. It takes a promising premise for an entertaining sequel and burdens it with instantly forgettable songs (snappy though they were) and an insufferably cute protagonist. Itu0026#39;s great for kids, donu0026#39;t get me wrong. If youu0026#39;re childless, however, save it for video and watch it for the quality of the animation. While astounding, it canu0026#39;t make up for the lack of story.”
