soapbox

I would say that the best part about this movie is that you get the comic genius of Jack Black without having to actually see his face, but that’s not fair to the movie.  This film is very well done, both conceptually and technically.  A clean but engaging animation style and several strong performances combine to produce a very fun and funny movie.  

The ‘plot’ is 100% folk tale/fable/etc, but that’s not a bad thing.  In this case predictability allows you to sit back and just enjoy the movie in all of its awesomeness… there were really maybe only two slow spots out of the whole film.  Good stuff.
