I can't really put my finger on it, but the more I think about it, something just doesn't seem right about the whole thing

I thought the animation was amazing. I just saw March of the Penguins again, after HF, and the animated penguins were hardly different than the live ones.

Otherwise, snooze. I didn't bond with any of the characters. There were too many messages (acceptance, family, environment). And it was too long.

HI all

What is it about Australian directors and rehashing 70s tunes?

This film is not for kids and the themes are clearly directed at an older audience. I remain unimpressed by the idea of trying to produce something new by mixing and mashing old 70s and 80s hits. Yes There is a slight degree of originality but the end result, as in Moulin Rouge, is [puke] [puke] [puke]

The animation is good, I will grant the film that but i found the characters often decidely uncute.

Verdict 2 stars out of 5. Go see Flushed away instead.

Yes it really is a load of boring rubbish. Moulin Penguin.

cheers Peter
