Mini-review. :)

Saw a preview of this yesterday with my little brother and really enjoyed it!

Enought to keep kids and 'adults' entertained. Superb graphics and interaction of the cartoon characters was excellent.

The film is stuffed full of every WB character you can think of - including the dancing Frog. :lol:

One of the stand out scenes for me was Elma Fudd chasing Bugs and Daffy in and out of the paintings in the Lourve and the characters adopting the style of each painting!!

Bredan Fraser looking very buff, Jenna Elfman looking hot, Timothy Dalton superb as a spy/film star Dad.

If nothing else, seeing Heather Locklear in a black stockings Cabaret costume and then changing into a skin tight, black PVC cat suit should be reason enough to see this!!!!! :luv: :notworthy

....and there's a gorgeous TVR Speed 6!!

I really liked it. Steve Martin sucked balls throughout, but the recreation of the shower scene from Psycho and the bit with the Dali painting were excellent. Good short before it, too. :thumbs:

I really really enjoyed it, but I felt it slowed down a bit when they got to Africa.

I didn't dislike Steve Martin, In fact I found him pretty funny but it is possibly the oddest performance I've seen in quite some time.

Oh and shame on the Daily Express reviewer for saying that 'Space Jam' was the better Looney Toons film.

Truer to the original toons than space jam I thought. Thank God...

It's no Roger Rabbit that's for sure.

I took my wife and kids to see it today, and the children enjoyed it very much (They're 9 and 3 years old).

However the plot is rubbish, the animation doesn't have of the charm of Roger Rabbit, and some of the acting is downright appalling - especially Steve Martin who comes across as totally unfunny.

Also the cartoon characters don't seem to be as 'there' in the scene as the ones in Roger Rabbit.

However there are quite a few really nice gags - I laughed out loud more than once, and some great references to other TV / Films that film enthusiasts will get.

Plus the bit with Heather Locklear in a skin tight catsuit was worth the admission fee alone! :norty: :nuts:

I enjoyed it but found it started to wear a little thin towards the end.

and whats with Warner releasing it in a Snapper? :(
