Debi Derryberry is amazing. As I approached this movie i expected some great material, and thats what i got . The barn sequence brings something that I really came to appreciate in this movie. The ''action'' sequence as the boy lead fights the giant genius has a classical action feel and the score is really bold. Catchy songs that can be appreciated by parents and the small ones. Even with a modest budget the graphics are really cool, note to the impressive quality of the facials expressions and physics of the water. A right shot once this is combined with some of the finest voice actors in the industry.
With cute characters a message of love, brother'hood and persistence the movie isn't pretentious our like some of the modern flicks lost in all the effects, instead focusing on building strong a developed animation.
