tavm Review of Almost Home

Almost Home (I) (2014)

This Almost Home computer-animated short seemed pointless to me. Maybe the longer version will be much better...

[3/10 · 14 April 2014]

I've seen this DreamWorks computer-animated short twice now, first, before the Mr. Peabody and Sherman feature and, just now, before Rio 2. It seems these creatures, the leader of which is voiced by Steve Martin, are looking for a planet which is completely safe. As in, no danger to them whatsoever. No dice. With that mentioned, I'll just say that while I was a little amused by the premise, it felt too short and rushed. So no, this wasn't very enjoyable. Now finding out on this site that it's a preparation for a feature version, maybe that version will be a whole lot better. We'll see. Really, maybe they shouldn't have put such a partly pointless short version out since a longer version is supposed to come out soon. I think that's all I'll comment on...
