Beautiful Colors - Not Well-written Thought
8 June 2012
This movie had lovely animation and beautiful colors. It was really not as bad as many of the other posters have written. The plot is too complex for young viewers and it has some very, very scary moments--so it is not appropriate for children under 9 or 10 I'd say. It has some pretty good points about following dreams, not being afraid to stand up for what was right (courage), not being a blind follower, etc. If you have another good choice for family night that is age appropriate for young children, perhaps you should choose it. However, the animators and actors were on the right track here and just need to really work on the writing. I was not sure if these were biblical allusions in the movie (Lucifer was the big monstrous fish, I guess?)

Pretty good movie. A bit too long, and a bit too scary, and in great need of a better script, but it has a lot of potential and you can use it to teach the kids about sea animals.
