I had seen it years ago and barely remembered it. The story is corny as hell, albeit not entirely unbelievable for the genre, the music ranged between mediocre and decent, and the acting, dialogue, as well as the character development, are so stupid that they are actually laughable! I was almost surprised that they
didn't have that washed up wench Cher play the mother role... The graphics are good by todays standards but that is the best thing about this cartoon; any film where the graphics/special effects are better than everything else, including and especially the actors, is never a good sign!! I'm sure that this was spectacular in an IMAX theater but, that doesn't really help the film here. Whether this was intentional or not, there is also a "thrill ride" feel to the film, especially what with the roller coaster gimmick towards the end.This is a film that is good for its visuals, best to be seen, and appreciated, in a theater setting. At home it is stupid and barely worth it...
