After watching the trailer I was surprised this movie never made it into theaters, so I ordered the BluRay. I had a great time watching it and have to say that this movie is better than some major animation movies out there. Of course, it has its flaws but I can still really recommend it. The animation is well done, very entertaining and unique and the story kept me watching it all the way to the end. Some of the backdrops are just drop-dead gorgeous and you can see the French talent behind it. I thought that Forest Whitaker's performance feels a bit lifeless but that is how the character Lian-Chu is depicted in this movie. So overall, thumbs up, I liked it a lot and I hope it is successful enough for all the studios involved to continue making great movies like this. I would recommend to give it a chance and be surprised how great a movie can be with such a small budget. Hektor alone is worth watching the movie since some of his moments are Stitch-like hilarious.

Going to the theater I didn't expect to be blown away but to be at least entertained well - but I was wrong. The roughly 150 min movie DID blow me away with a wonderful, intriguing story, above average acting, a life-enriching message, outstanding effects (a far more seamless integrating of the animal characters), and an even more refined music score. Narnia II is a must see and could elevate the series to the likes of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars... after coming out of the theater I felt the need to watch it again and immediately watch part III... a wonderful feeling. Take the time and watch it - especially on the big screen, it's worth every penny you spend.

This movie is unbelievable, marvelous, fantastic, brilliant, awesome, thrilling, tremendous, amazing, breathtaking, stunning, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, moving, touching, funny, stirring, reaching, strong, engaging, sweet, fast, slow, true, bold, spirited... it is incredible.

Today I saw the future of computer animation. Hilarious funny animation and a brilliant, sincere and touching story. Simultaneously I was sad that Pixar created their best movie for years and I'm not yet working there. This movie was, is and will be writing animation history. Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas honor this movie with their appearance. This says everything.
