Animated film about love and tolerance from Fathom Studios would have been a great film if they had just removed the two groups that are the main characters. In all honesty I would have loved to just watch the landscapes and the creatures that in habit wander about for 90 minutes. Instead I got a bunch of ill designed, poorly animated bi-pedal lizard like people creatures battling with some fairy like creatures who's land went barren and who wanted more than the land the lizards offered them. I don't know. Its a mess of a movie. The sort of thing that even SciFi wouldn't have run were it live action.This feels like a direct to video release that never gets even a cable screening. You know you're in trouble when you don't like the look of the main characters, and then things get worse when you add in sub-humorous comedy. Its a shame that this got a theatrical release when there are dozens of better films that can't even see the light of day. Clearly someone wanted to see the landscapes on a big screen. given the choice I'd take a pass and stare out a window instead.

Poorly rendered lead characters and bad comedy sink what might have been an okay film
