There are a lot of flaws. The animation is not good enough for the standards of 2002. There is very little depths on the differents shots and the drawing is very apprximative and messy.
The plot is not great either. Too much plot holes and facilities to arrive to an obvious ending. The film starts off very quickly, but in a messy way and I had trouble to get directly invested, which was the case when the ship too off. The final scene is a bit too much, but whatever...
Now that I talked about the negative, let's come to what was actually worth watching:
The soundrack is good, although quite generic in Disney's long series of films.
The characters all had a personality and it was very easy to follow each one of them.
The story is basic, but easy to follow and it drives the point home.
Bu where this movie nailed it in my opinion is in buiding the relationship between the hero and the villain. The villain itself is generic, but how both characters interact and get to know each other is quite unusual for a Disney movie and I was very pleasantly surprised with it. That is the aspect of the film that stood out and for which I will remember it. Risk taken, but it was worthile. Sometimes Disney should try things like these more often.
