stimulating (see aforementioned slow pace), and I never cared much for it myself growing up. As an adult, I have a much bigger appreciation for it than I ever did as a child (as I indeed do with the better ones among Don Bluth's films) which is how it edges up to four stars now. Show Less

A fox and a hunting dog can't be friends.
0/4 (Terrible).
Besides having a story that's ill-conceived and impossibly boring at every turn, every image in the entire movie is directly lifted from another movie.
