This is without a doubt the worst thing he has pumped out. I liked the idea and the story wasn't too bad either, but my god, the dialogue in this was dreadful, the songs were irritating, making The Scarecrow's 'great' tracks look good by comparison (I don't see you taking off points for that, CS!) and there are even times where the scriptwriters so obvious forget what they've written. One such example is when Louie's father is supposedly shot and while he's lying unconscious, the nurse says it's a superficial injury and for some reason, this means he's not dead. Since when is a superficial injury a good thing!? The animation's okay for a direct-to-video release, but one has to remember that this was released to theaters, so it's difficult to really accept this. I will give it points though: There was one song that I liked and, again, the story was intriguing. I usually like all animated features to some degree, but I hated this one. In fact, I also hated the animated King and I from Warner Bros. Why did I give that a 3? Furthermore, why can't reviews be edited on this site? I find it ironic that I actually liked Thumbelina but hated this when Thumbelina's storyline was much more contrived.
