The giant mechanical penguin throwing giant snowballs is one of the greatest images ever committed to film.

I loved the invention, but found myself absolutely despising the film after just 20 minutes of it starting. It was noisy and obnoxious, and I just couldn't cope. If it wasn't for the lean running time I would have walked out, and believe me I did consider it, on numerous occasions. To be fair I think it was a simple clash of personalities, and I can see why most did enjoy it, but I just couldn't deal with it!

I said that the film felt a bit overlong and dragging, while acclaiming it highly most of the time. It was not enough. Pigeon Army still wanted to kill me for not acclaiming it more than that.

Run adambatman, run like hell and try to hide. It will be useless, as he'll be capable to find you even if you hide in the deepest, darkest regions of the Universe, but at least you'll live a bit longer.

Zany cannot even begin to describe the storyline, the characters are all lovable and suitably kooky, and the voice actors/actresses sound like they're having a ball.

4/5
