i luckily(?) rented this movie, and tried to watch it but couldn't do this in chunks of any more than a few minutes at a time and did not make it to the end
there were several reasons for this:
-the voice overs were just absolutely rubbish. i could record a bunch of people off the street and get more inspired performances than these. in particular i hated the cliché Asian accents and apathetic tones
-the animation itself was of a poor standard. totally flat and with no fluidity at all. just lots of bland colours
-the story was very very poor with no focus at all
-the movie is loud, loud and more loud
-the DVD i watched had no subtitles? clearly the makers tried extremely hard to borrow from Asian animation, failed totally and then did not even have the decency to provide subtitles in at least Chinese or Japanese.. or in German, french or English for that matter
if this is the standard of western animations I'll continue to look elsewhere because this is absolutely sub standard
