my 3 year old love it . i love it and my wife love it . so positive from our family . a for violence level . not really that violent and mostly of the slap stick variety . nobody truly dy and no gore and no blood and no torture and so it certainly be appropriate for child and much more so than many saturday morning cartoon . this movie really take the idea of cg movie where it should go . first of all beautiful graphic and texture wonderfully do and with true depth and not try to be realistic and but form an artistic whole . the moss on the stone and the rust on metal and the relief on the wood and the stone and everything add to the whole . character modeling and unlike many contemporary cg movie and be quirky and not cute and again within an artistic whole . the face may look less malleable than in some other movie and but the character be more puppet like than human like . i think that be a good thing and it lend veracity and how strangely it may sound and it be easy to suspend your disbelief . hair and fur and clothing and on par and at least with the like of pixar . just note in the opening scene when lian chu be fight the giant slug while gwizdo be in front of some farmer and and all of them have detail clothing which cause me to pause the movie just to admire it . the setting . far beyond the like of car and and even walle . space have be do many time and but the fantasy environs of dragon hunter be only comparable with some scene in never end story and lord of the ring and but again it be an artistic whole and and with lot of good idea throw about effortlessly . magnificent vista like the scene in monster inc. where they ride all the doorway through it storage facility and or walle where we see the immense trash tower he make and abound in this movie and everything be grand and yet never dwell upon while it be just the background the whole way . the interlude where they walk through the area with the fantastic fall . the chinese wall and the island float in the sky . the broccoli in the sky . that be truly where i believe cg should go and make something which take your breath away and and do it again and again . the sound be good and the music be vary and not only epic and and thankfully without any vocal and and purely original for the movie . animation be quite good . lend it inspiration to cartoon and especially some good use of stretch and squeeze . sometimes not that realistic and but the 3d model be not realistic either . characterization be well do too . lian chu the gentle and uncertain giant be gradually grow in confidence basking in the attention of little zoé . gwizdo the wily manager of lian chu redeem himself in the end and while zoé isn not really change at all and but who want that cute child to change anyway . i at least loved lian chu more than any other recent character since sulley in monster inc. the internal strife in the group get iron out by the external pressure and just a it should in a proper fantasy story . the story be mostly reminiscent of the never end story and especially how the world brake apart . the monster be pretty standard fare and except the flock one . it lack the emotional impact of walle and which be the really strong point of that movie and but it be a much more fun ride and and lack the annoy musical scene replay in the former one and and have action from the first scene . this movie be what you want to watch for a fun and exciting time . the whole movie have and a i have mention a whole vision and which seem to have be follow rigorously throughout . it seem and that the setting be ready for more adventure and and i for one would hope so . one side note and the french actor do lian chu sound a bit like jean reno at first and but i be happy it wasn not him and though he be one of my favorite . nice to hear a new and to me and voice . i give it a max rating and a bit surprised at the mediocre and low rating by some while i have try to address some of the concern make by two of the review with the low vote . approach this movie a an adventure and and a a european movie and not oppose to hollywood and but different .
