7/10
A musical cautionary tale
18 July 2016
So is this movie incredibly beat you over the head level of heavy handed with the environmental message? Yes. Of course it is. But that's the idea. And honestly, I feel it was very well done.

I remember watching this movie as a kid and really enjoying it. I recently watched it again, and liked it just as much as when I was little. The characters are fun, the songs are memorable, and the animation is still beautiful even now. I remember that this was one of the movies that really got me into the idea of conservation and recycling. So hey, at least its message didn't go to waste.

Tim Curry of course is excellent as the villain, because..let's face it, Tim Curry plays a villain as often as Sean Bean's characters die.

This movie is totally a product of the 90's though as when you go back and watch it now the lingo and technology is a little painful.

It's a movie of patience, understanding, and taking care of our environment with some bittersweet romance thrown in. To me it's like if the Little Mermaid was good.

This film isn't the best thing ever, but it is still a solid watch and I recommend it.
