Shark Bait (2006)
A Beautiful Tail...
After reading some of the debilitating comments on this, I felt the need to comment. It is a wonderful film. The voice talents were excellent and I found it to be a sweet, sentimental story. I think it might help if you love the ocean to begin with, as I do.
I found myself crying in two places and my children who viewed it: ages 3,4 and 13, all loved it. A G rating is a great change of pace. This is a children's film and the subtle aspects that are for adults are not the snickering b.s. prevalent in recent years films.
This film received an award of excellence from the film advisory board and I think it is well earned.
If you're a cynic looking to pick things a part, you shouldn't be watching this anyway. I wanted to be entertained and I was. The animation was it's weakest link, and I'd still give the animation a B+ for quality.
This film had depth (hee, hee) and humor and compassion and with the crop of junk that passes for entertainment out there I couldn't pass on the opportunity to speak up and encourage others to watch it.
A question to all of you with your scathing comments:
Why do you spend your time tearing a part the creative efforts of others?
This was a lovely film and it is original and creative, two rare things these days. Take a bow little fishies...
The Wild (2006)
The Wild is for Three Year Olds
My son laughed all through it. My two year old daughter walked out. It has a good cast and there's not a lot else out there. Kind of sappy for me, but hey, did I mention my three year old liked it.
It's easy for people to tear stuff down anymore. It's hard work to get anything animated out at all.
Besides it has eddied Izzard. I love that man! Everything he does is funny. So he's a Brit, he doesn't need to be an Aussie, he is fine as what he is.
Keifer Sutherland is miscast as the wishy washy lion but hey, so much is life.
Did I mention my three year old liked it?
enjoy.
