8/10
Hilarious fun for the family

Warning: Spoilers
This film is a must for any animation fans, or anyone willing to spend just half an hour watching a very funny film. While there are no great surprises in the story, and no real emotive content, this film tries and succeeds in transporting us to another world where we can escape and forget about life for a time. Flatworld has animation that, while not ground-breaking, is decidedly different and interesting to watch. The characters, despite not speaking a word, still manage to be hilarious and engaging - of special note are the cat and fish! Essentially, we are taken to a grey, dreary world where everything is flat, and the hero of the story goes about his day to day job with a humdrum lack of enthusiasm. However, when a TV wire breaks and malfunctions, he is suddenly zapped into the TV with his cat, whereby he encounters a criminal mastermind amongst other adventures - the story follows his adventures as the remote control suddenly becomes an object of extreme power! Very good, hilarious fun for the family, this film is recommended by the vast majority of those who see it. Suitable for everyone, this universal cartoon should be sought after and supported!
