“This film is a perfect example that a movie can not be successful with a high budget alone. Itu0026#39;s obvious that there was a lot of time and effort dedicated into this: the animation is fluid, detailed and superb- the soundtrack isnu0026#39;t too memorable except for the ending song by Celine Dion (at least I think it was her). The musical score is powerful full orchestra material. Kudos to the animators and music composers! 9/10. However, the story and characters fall flat. It feels very u0026#39;been there, done thatu0026#39;, predictable and plain uninteresting. The characters have distinct personalities but nothing too likable. They annoyed me to no end. I tried really hard to like this, but I didnu0026#39;t care about the story- it was cliché action-adventure plot. There were u0026#39;jokesu0026#39; that werenu0026#39;t funny. It was vomit inducing predictable from start to end. The dialogue was cliché and awful- especially the last line u0026quot;Itu0026#39;s not … that gives you wings, itu0026#39;s love!u0026quot; Whatever it was, I remember cringing. I was wishing it would hurry up and finish. I wasnu0026#39;t the only one either- the people I went with thought it was boring. Please watch the Asterix and Obelix Cleopatra film if youu0026#39;re going to watch any. This was a waste of time.”
