SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
TheLittleSongbird The fact that it's animated doesn't bother me, quite the contrary. I love animation and I have enjoyed a lot of Burbank's output(Wind in the Willows especially). But both as an adaptations and on its own terms, I didn't care for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The voice acting is not bad, but I did think the animation could've been smoother and more vibrant, it felt very flat and sometimes even crude to me especially in the character designs. The music didn't leave much of a rousing feeling, overall I found it forgettable, while the writing is stilted with the more humorous parts contrived and the story is too rushed in pace(not helped by the too-short running time) and contains no excitement or sense of enchantment or inspiration. I didn't care much for the characters either, of course I was not expecting them to be as complex as they are in the book or the live-action Disney film(which in all honesty is much more ideal), but I was expecting them to be halfway interesting which they weren't here. Overall, didn't work for me, sorry. 2/10 Bethany Cox
pombearking This is another of the novel adapt ions from the novel but of course is different and more simplified for children, the film is quite short and not very humours if you think it will be a comedy, but yet the film is quite surprising in the fact that it delivered the story quite well, the story was good and the animation wasn't half bad. this film makes you want to watch a none cartoon adaption to see thats point of view overall 7 out of 10 for its good story and its underrated animation. The bad points about the film was because of it being short and a children's film it didn't dwell into the characters as it would the book or a full length film, the film also being a cartoon didn't have a audience, the film seemed to be directed at kids with one or two jokes but throughout the film were nothing else to relate to being a children's film.
