What I Think: Given that this movie is one of the older ones, I was impressed by the computer graphics. The story was great but I think that the acting lacked in some parts. The events within the story were thought out and creative. The ending was very entertaining I thought. I think that the way that they decided to end the whole thing was pretty funny. It's hard to watch an older movie like this with my generations knowledge and not critisize it alot. For it's time, I think that this movie was done very well.
