I don't have a lot of faith in animated movies from overseas, but this one definitely surprised me. If this had been produced in North America, it likely would have been a big theatrical release. A lot of work went into this world - the places, the scenery, the characters. Effort also went into telling an original entertaining story. As I watched it I wasn't letting the movie flash by the screen just to wait for the conclusion, but was genuinely interested in what was going on. That's not to say this is the best movie ever, no. But a solid eight, for what it is, I feel is very deserved. If you enjoy movies that feature anthropomorphic animals instead of human characters, you can't go wrong here. And don't hit stop once the credits begin either, there's a couple more scenes you'll find rather humorous!
