The credits confuses the viewer straight away - instantly you are asking what have I just turned on? The opening scenery is beautiful, the costuming initially is good(which is why it got one star) BUT - the movie goes downhill from there. Such a shame - the kids acting is not too bad. The adults acting is abysmal. The dialogue is overly chatty with a lot of unnecessary talk and noises. One villain seems to be straight from the show Allo Allo and Jack Gleeson's character seems to be a mixture of every ridiculous animated villain you might remember. There were several instances breaking the 4th wall - which was creepy and unecessary. Very disappointing overall. Will not be watching any further instalments.
