I enjoyed the film and, again, think it superior to Shrek 2, which may have been overlong — this one is not.

The rest of us can find much to enjoy in this film, even when we criticize not only the not-so-occasionally foul language and the near-explicit sex but also the … how shall I put this? … wooden acting.

Shrek 2 was made largely … hmm, because the original was so interesting and deserving of a sequel? No, apparently because the original made so much money and was therefore deserving of a sequel.

By and large this mix of human actors and traditional cartoon characters seems to work, at least as far as humor is concerned.

It was fairly well-drawn, it was fun, it was fast-moving, it was not overlong. And nobody sang any songs.

Definitely worth seeing!

I think that Stevenson, were he alive today, would not be terribly upset by what the Disney people have done with his story. In fact, he might be willing to stay for a second showing.

I expected to have a wasted couple of hours when I went to see this film. Except for the first few minutes, it was actually something of a pleasant surprise.

I almost fell asleep in spots. When I was awake, I watched the pictures of naked lady chickens doing calisthenics and kept thinking of roast drumsticks.

The film is both a delight and a disappointment — something one should learn to expect from “episode” films.

Add a whole bunch of computer-generated special animation effects, and you have a film that is worth spending an evening to see.

Was it a good film? If you like advances in film technology, don’t demand much meat in your plot, and have some small children along, yes, it was an excellent film.

The film’s creators did not make the mistake of turning Miguel into a bad imitation of Crosby, nor is Tullio any Hope, and Chel makes Lamour look positively Twiggy-ish

One of the most enjoyable — though far from humorous — animations that I’ve seen in quite a while

Now the Disney people have produced what we may call a “flawed masterpiece” — but, I suspect, as minimally flawed as we can expect at this late date.

The Chinese seem to like stories about plucky girls disguising themselves as boys to do the jobs that society thinks they should avoid.
