The qualities: Superb graphics, expressive, beautiful and stylish; Solid characters, both intrinsically and visually; A compelling atmosphere, and mood in general.The flaws: A chaotic script, confusing and unprofessional. They were too ambitious to keep as much as possible of the novel's sub-plots and secondary characters, but didn't know how to organize them according to the screen-writing rules.A linear direction: everything flows on too uniformly, the important scenes are not accented and developed enough. As such, it gradually becomes boring, and during the culminating moments it's positively anticlimactic.The disadvantageous comparison with "Oblio". That one had spark! This one is also smart, but less inspired.

I loved this film. Definitely the best film of the year in my opinion. It's full of inspiration. The film was written after the novel by Kate DiCamillo of the same name as the film. The novel won the 2003 Newbery Medal. I have just started listening to the audio book of the novel and it starts off just as inspiring.Although it is a children's fantasy film it has a whole lot for the adults. One of my favorite films to date. Fantastic, next to Peaceful Warrior. Not sure about the other comments on here, I guess we have to live with them. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did, because I really loved it and so did everyone I spoke to that's seen it. With an all-star cast this movie truly stands out. Don't miss this one!

Got this Movie for Christmas on DVD and Matthew Broderick did a good job doing the voice of the "Gentlemouse" this movie reminds me of "The Great Mouse Detective", "The Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under", "Ratouille" and "Stuart Little" and I did enjoy watching this mouse-like hero who saves the day in the Medieval times. I like it when he speaks to the Human beings. But they got scared little bit. See Humans can speak to mice and rats. At the end there is forgiveness to be solved. This movie filled with animation effects with Fantasy Stories were ever told in Fairy Tales. I did enjoy watching this movie during Christmas. Filled with Family-Fantasy films to watch on the Big Screen from Dreamworks Animation.
