5/10
OK but not great.
17 November 2007
This has good bits but I found the eco message a bit overblown and annoying, it would have been better to be a bit more subtle and less preachy.

The characters are good, if simple, with reasonable motivations and they act in a consistent enough way. The one exception is the old blind soothsayer who is a terrible cliché and is annoying every time she is on the screen, she is a cheap and unimaginative way of foreshadowing and explaining things.

On the whole though this is an enjoyable film with a lot of action and some good animation and reasonable dialogue, the English dubbing is some of the best I have come across.

The ending is cheesy and has a rushed feel as if it is trying to tidy up the loose ends when there isn't room for a traditional happy ending.

All in all it's watchable but not great for an adult.
