This was a fantastic movie with a lot of very funny moments. The animation of Paddington and his aunt and uncle are so realistic you have to see it in Blu Ray. Don't buy the DVD. If you a Blu Ray capable player, upgrade and buy the Blu Ray disc. You will not be disappointed.
The animation is really great and it's a good story that could have been better. It's really a rock opera of sorts with a lot of singing. I really would have loved this movie more if it had had just a bit less singing but the realistic animation outweighs it. Based on "A Midsummer Nights Dream" but no spoilers other than that. So sad that this was not released on Blu Ray. The animation really deserves it.
I guess I was expecting more. Glaring inconsistencies in the film and the dragon can not even hold a candle to the original .. or even the second in the series. It was ok but perhaps the studio should retire the storyline permantly.
As a fan of werewolf films in general, this one ranks as one I will give away. Not a great film and certainly not in the league of "The Howling". Cheaply done but it has a few laughs.
Whether you have an interest in animation or even Mexican culture this film will please. Set during the "Day of the Dead" Dia de los Muertos, the films artwork reflects the bright colors and designs of the famous decorated sugar skulls and decorations for the holiday. A good film, good story and lessons to be learned. Not too scary for smaller children. Unusual animation as all the characters seem to be puppets made of various shapes of wood.
Not only is real stop animation rarely seen in a feature film it is also incredibly painstaking to do. The artists love for this medium shines in this feature. Great characters and story development with more than one twist. Possibly a little scary in parts for real little children with a fragile constitution. A must have for an animation collection.
