The movie is awesome for what it is. A KIDS MOVIE! targeted at YOUNG children. I honestly can't stand seeing all the terrible ratings on young kids films on this godforsaken website. You didn't like it because you are not the target audience. Nothing happened? You're wrong. For a child's mind a lot happened. It doesn't need to be that deep when the film is made for 4 year olds. Anyway amazing movie. Right up there with the Brave Little Toaster.

Out of boredom, as I don't sleep once again, I decided, "Well, I never watched this movie as a kid since I grew up with some of Don Bluth's works, why not I watch it... and yeah, it sucks." The only good thing I can point out is the use of the coloring and the greyish coloring in the background. The sense of imagination is an okay use of the message since this is a movie that is more aimed towards babies or really young kids if you have em. On the other hand, the story goes nowhere, the songs are generic as hell and even the characters weren't at all interesting. I can only say this is better than Secret of NIHM 2 but it's like how I see Ruby Gillman being the weakest of his works. 2/10.

Alternate Ending

The great majority of the film's inappropriately slow-moving 76 minutes are taken up with basically nothing at all.

Rated: 1.5/5

While sitting in thrall of it, it's only natural for the abused mind to scramble to find reason in an otherwise meaningless entertainment.
