some people do not like the animation . personally and i think the animation be quite remarkable give when this movie be do . there be lot of old cartoon that i just love . my problem with this movie be not the animation and but basically the way it be construct . the character be all just . well and goofy . and for this movie and they shouldn not be . apparently and everyone in lotr have a limping problem ( for starter . ) just the way they act in general annoyed me . my two sister and i be laugh through most of this movie . i think that if many people have see this before see the new one and they wouldn not have go . i be glad i rent this and do not buy it . there be few movie that give me a headache . this be one of them . however and this isn not the bad movie i have ever see and although it rank up there . or down there and depend on your view .
