Wow, what a wonderful surprise. I have to admit that when I first saw the trailer for this film, it really didn't grab me. Dreamworks obviously has a great animation team, but that doesn't always mean the storyline is going to be interesting enough to amuse me. Well, I certainly stand corrected on this one. The script was quite clever and the characters were unique. My favorite was definitely Hammy. Which was interesting, because to my recollection, the initial trailers seemed to focus on him and that was what kind of turned me off; go figure. The plot was simple enough, but quite cleverly executed, with a lot of great little details. For the first time I found myself more interested in the storyline than studying the animation and marveling at the lighting, etc. I will definitely be picking up a copy so I can watch over and over.
