The ‘epic’ quality in this animated film was the animation itself. Bordering on capturing the natural landscape to 99% perfection, it made nature and all its detail as beautiful it is in real life, but with greater depth and majesty.

The story on the other hand, takes a while to sink in to. Once you are connected, you want to know what will happen, knowing full well how it will turn out. Probably too ‘adult and understated’ in its approach, it may not work fully as a children’s film, as they will take away much lesser than the grown audience.

Celebrities such as Beyonce Knowles, Collin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, Jason Sudeikis amongst many others lend voices to characters who are fighting an ‘epic’ battle, and are merely the supporting elements set in top notch animation.

A great home or flight watch.
