2/5 ** I was anticipating this movie release and hoping, after hearing some negative reviews that it was all that it had been hyped up to be. Unfortunately, it lacked that wow factor and the parts that were comedic in the original animated movie just weren't delivered the same and therefore did not come across as funny as the original. I also think they could've done a better job with the overall picture, it lacked color. Although I will give them a thumbs up in regards to detail and realism. I dont think the casting was thought out other than james earl jones. I dont recommend this version but the animated version is timeless.
