Better late than never, I always say.

Has anyone else seen this? I thought it was delightful. Just a treat. I received it from Netflix by accident because I'm trying to get and watch as many movies as possible before I cancel on September 1st and I forgot this was in my queue and it was sent to me before I could change it, but I'm glad it was.

As an animal lover, my favorite thing about animated films is how the good animals never get hurt physically, just emotionally and then by the end, everyone grows to love the animals. Animated films treat humans like shit and have no problem sending them to their demise or making them look like an ass, but they don't do it to good animals and that's always nice. It's the opposite of real life.

The animation is top notch and simply stunning. Especially on blu-ray. It's not very funny but I never find most movies funny for some reason, so maybe you would. Certainly not on pre Cars 2 Pixars level, but what is? Still, it's a good time and a fun way to kill an hour and a half.

You are totally correct, it is delightful. The guys on the Slashfilmcast wouldn't shut up about it, so I saw it in the theatre and the 3D was also astounding. Horrible marketing, but a fun little movie and that's why it started slow at the b.o. but eventually made a big chunk of change.

I found it kind of boring. Didn't like the main character at all. But the dragon was pretty cool and the animation was as excellent as you guys are saying.
