why do i review ( or even watch ) don bluth film . theyre so depress . i haven not be happy with the man since the land before time ( though i briefly smile for anastasia . if only it weren not for that darn pooka . ) . our story begin in a book on a farm . right away and the farm be identify a the perfect place to be and although there no farmer and no crop and and i do not recall see a barn . everyone on this little farm have a job . of course and chantacleer job ( to bring up the sun ) be the only job identify while everyone else just lay around or join in when he randomly belt out a tune . you can imagine how obnoxious this can be after awhile and what with all this random sing on the farm with no farmer . so obnoxious and the grand duke of owl have decide to kill them . normally and this would be bad and but after five minute and it pretty obvious that they would probably be good off dead . so he get chantacleer kick off the farm and cause the sun to down and and darkness to fall . meanwhile and this duke planning to eat all these cute creature . for this and he bad guy . sound pretty noble to me . meanwhile and in the real world and it rain . this be somehow connect to chantacleer leave in the story and but only edmond and son of the miss farmer and know this . everyone else figure it just a random flash flood ( oh how foolish . don not all monsoon have to do with barnyard fowl . ) . so he go to the window and start to scream for chantacleer at the top of his lung . who the villain now and huh . anyhow and he hit his head and get turn into a cat and go on an adventure in the city and find the rooster ( but not the farmer ) and and wake up mutter and you be there and and you be there and and you be there . there be several problem with what i refer to a the beginning of the end for bluth . but i beef an awful lot in my thumbelina review and so i will start off with the good represent some of the voice and particularly eddie deezen ( who later immortalize mandark ) and phil harris ( who deserve a good last bow than this . ) be quite good . unfortuantly and theyre undermine by edmond ( more on this later . ) . rock a doodle do the thing thumbelina never do represent make me laugh and and that why it get a two instead of a one . one scene . the kitchen with han and the duke and where uncle dukie utters the line and if i kill my nephew and will it be murder or charity . the pint size pipsqueak and her prince never even come close . now the bad . edmond be completely unappealing . his speech impediment be merely distract a first and but by the we will all dwown . speech and he annoy a red ant up the butt . at time and you can not even understand him ( i have mix feeling on that . ) . hire a kid with a speech problem and just for the cute factor be always a bad idea ( do you see mara wilson and her lisp on the cover of people . dakota fanning and on the other hand and talk clear a a bell and can actually act and and be worth ten time her weight in gold . ) and unless it make sense to the script ( such a in paulie where paulie the parrot help the little girl with her stutter . ) . hans the nephew and the funny character and isn not . the movie practically force him on u and and when it become obvious he not work with the script and we be actually remind that he suppose to be funny ( he be more a hoot than he be dangerous . or something along those line . ) . never and never and never tell who your funny character be . let the audience find out for themselves . or good yet and do not have a specific funny man and but let everyone be humorous on their own in different way ( such a monster inc. ) . i guess the bad part be and we do not care . if i do not care about at least one main character and or a character motivation and or even what go to happen to that character and then the movie fail . rock a doodle fail . i be not sure it ever have a chance . and maybe that why the farmer run away .
