First, the decision to go CGI wasn\u2019t the best idea as it just doesn\u2019t look right but furthermore, the story is half-assed and on the whole, this feature, despite being only 70-minutes, was a chore to get through. Still, probably younger viewers will enjoy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 1.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This release comes with a glossy, embossed <b>slip cover<\/b>.
