"Sir Billi" is a film so awful that after Sean Connery made it, he retired. When asked why, he said that the quality of the films they offered him were terrible and he was tired of making bad films. Considering late in his career he appeared in films like "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" and "The Avengers" (based on the TV show...not the Marvel characters) and "Sir Billi", I can certainly understand his frustration. They are all terrible films, though somehow "Sir Billi" manages to be the worst of these!
"Sir Billi" is a CGI film made by a Scottish production company and I can only pray that they never make another...it's THAT bad! The CGI is simply the ugliest I can recall...even worse than "Foodfight"! Now THAT's bad. The quality of the artwork is so bad that the 2012 film looks like it was made back in the 1990s! And even then, it would be an ugly film!
The plot lost me....and after a while my eyes glazed over and my brain went to sleep. There's a talking goat who thinks he's a dog and a lot of other weird things...making the script perhaps as bad as the godawful CGI.
As far as the voicework goes, it was NOT good. Connery sounded very old, tired and sad. The rest of the cast weren't much better. But the worse were the hellishly annoying voices of the child characters. Imagine fingernails going across the chalkboard...and it's even worse!
In summation, there is absolutely nothing enjoyable nor well made about this terrible film...a film so awful that it didn't even deserved to go straight to video. Among the very worst films I've ever seen and about as pleasant as Ebola.
