I discovered this animated feature as it played on TV and decided to purchase it for my collection. I find the world the story develops in very interesting, and the animation is excellent. The attempts to make the sidekick funny fall short and he becomes kind of obnoxious. Most of the story is alright for younger viewers but the end "battle" might be a bit strong. Forest Whitaker is very good as the main character's voice, a soulful giant with a deep heart.
