Reviews

A very nice film, different from the hundreds of films we are used to, in which kings and queens are always kind and nice people. This story is more realistic and suitable for children for sure. It deserves an english dubbed release, such as a lot of other films from the same period.

Graphics is quite good, even though not at the same level of other animation films produced in other countries in the same year, but still very enjoyable.

Dialogues are never so obvious and contain different expressions. Film pace is not particularly fast, but it's never boring; the viewer always remain curious about what's gonna happen next.

I'm a huge fan of stop-motion animation and of Henry Selick, but this film has been quite disappointing. It is nothing compared to 'Nightmare bedore Christmas' and 'Coraline'.

Animation is great, even though I would have preferred some more "old style" techniques, such as less green screens and computer effects, but it was very good overall.

The big problem is the plot, there's too much in it. And you can't get what this film is for, children or adults?

About the characters, they're not enough developed. You can't sympathize with anyone.

You should watch it if you like stop-motion, but don't expect anything exceptional.
