Popular songs from the past six decades help tell the tale of a colorful cast of goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion.
Likes : I cant believe this film got so many bad reviews, seriously this is a pick me up film that actual make you laugh & lifts your mood with great animation & brilliantly time music numbers that really dose bring this film to life.
Intelligent humor in this film is brilliant for the storytelling not only for the adults but for children a well, with a add unexpected love story which really add to a well made animated film. The animation its self is beautiful done with C.G.I character, each one of them has their own personal characteristic which in some scene really dose make you laugh with the facial expression there is a few times ive even laugh hard with this film, it just hits the funny bone in the right place.
The voice's for his film are perfectly done nothing is out of sink like most other animation film, which is good because it sell the film better but the casting for this film which the animation facial expressions are brilliant which the act's voice overs for the characters like:
(Alan Cumming) Bog King (voice) trying to be the evil villain but come across as deep down he wants some to love him. (Evan Rachel Wood) Marianne (voice) comes across a love fairly with a tough warrior side to her along with the other characters (Elijah Kelley) Sunny (voice), (Meredith Anne Bull) Dawn (voice), (Sam Palladio) Roland (voice) , (Kristin Chenoweth) Sugar Plum Fairy (voice) , (Alfred Molina) Fairy King (voice) , Maya Rudolph Griselda (voice) , Bob Einstein Stuff (voice) , Peter Stormare Thang (voice), Kevin Michael Richardson Brutus (voice), Llou Johnson Pare (voice), Robbie Daymond Fairy Cronies (voice), Brenda Chapman Imp (voice), Tony Cox Plum Elf (voice) all bring what is a great family film, with great music numbers & some of the best facial expression animated characters you will laugh at as it has the elements of ice age has it has its own squirrel creature which i think was a mouse but it was so funny watch it being a mischievous creature.
You couldn't find a better animated film this year to find that strange magic combined with great adult humor & great up to date version of the chart music & music we all love, this is a magical film for all the family to watch.
Dislikes : not a dislike just more of a statement about this film Unless your a fan of musical animation this will not appeal to those that arnt just depends on your taste as this film dose have a few musical numbers.
Overall : Perfect animation, brilliant voice overs, brilliant lovable character & great intelligent sense of humor.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for story / animation
