10/10
A classic from my homeland
2 March 2012
This movie is a really good Canadian film, and probably one of (if not the) best Canadian films and shows I watched, keep in mind that I spent a good part of my childhood watching Little Bear, Babar, Care Bears, Arthur etc. and those shows were made in Canada.

To begin, I borrowed this movie from the library when I was 8 and it was not long before I liked it. If I were to list what's good about it, let's see. The acting is OK for a cinema production, I was very impressed by Miranda Richardson's performance as Miss Fowl, but for a movie with very few well-known names, it's likely not hard for some cinephiles to recognize the actors' names.

The story is good from beginning to end, the set design is decent and the songs are not as bad as some make it out to be, but like I said, I was a kid when I first saw this.

I especially like the judge's (Ice-T) song "Guilty" which is played at one point during the movie, and I loved the ending scenes, but I'm not mentioning any more about that.

To wrap it up, I would not recommend this movie for under-5 because some bits can be scary, but when it comes to movie watching, parental supervision always pays.
