the beginning of this movie be excellent with tremendous sound and some nice humor and but once the film change into animation it quickly lose it appeal . one of the reason that be so and at least for me and be that the color in much of the animation be too mute and with too little contrast . it doesn not look good and at least on vhs . once in a while it break out and look great and but not often also and the character come and go too quickly . for example and i would have like to have see more of moby dick . when the film start to drag and however and it pick up again with the entrance of the dragon and then the film finish strong . overall and just not memorable enough or able to compete with the great animated film of the last dozen year .
