It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

From my favorite movies..

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

And pun not intended, because I'm talking about "politically correct" (which the movie isn't) and not about how it was made! The graphics might not have the standard a big budget animation movie has, but then again, it wouldn't be good to compare this with "family" entertainment! It clearly aims for an adult audience and achieves it's goal, by being incredibly dark humored.There will be people out there, that won't like it because of it and there will be people out there, that love because of it (I'm in the latter group). So be aware that this is as far from Disney as it can be and you might enjoy the movie (I did ... until the ending ruined a bit of my enjoyment ... the movie ran a bit out of steam quite some times)

i have never heard about this movie, but after reading the plot and looking at some clips thought that it could be really interesting. all Nordic products always seem to have an interesting point of view, novelties and stuff, the English version involves some very very intriguing collaborators and i said to myself ; what the hell, this must be really something, i don't care about the contradictory reviews, i will watch it... unfortunately, though all the aspects could lead this movie to a classic cult, something was lost in the way, a few ( well, quite a lot actually) details were overlooked and the result is a film 'that could have been excellent' but it came out boring and digestible just as soon as the end credits begin. i really cannot understand how this really beautiful idea, all this money and all this people who worked their b**ts off for this film, ended up with this flop... pity pity pity

I've heart the rumors and read the reviews,, so, I really was expecting something special.But, Just because you do 33% shrek, 33% Tarantino and 33% lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels doesn't mean you got a great film. Money and talent was probably there, and also the benefit and freedom of combining animation and adult target audience.All together the movie for me is lacking anything that makes you care. With the exception of the moose, everyone else is flat. For me, it's something like a carton version of 3000miles from Graceland, a lot of everything but nothing that really matters. Smiled on occasion but all in all, it was just to obvious and lacking to deserve a recommendation.

Perhaps the Norwegian version comes across differently, but I am an American and saw the English version and honestly I just didn't get it. I didn't laugh once during the entire film. I saw this as more of a drama/thriller. The film was quite sad and dark.I think some well thought out editing could have improved the experience some. The film seemed to drag on aimlessly at points and i remember thinking, "wow, this is a long movie" which is never a good sign.I expected a lot of this film because of my great admiration of the cast, but was sorely disappointed. I found this to be a typical drug-themed film along the lines of Requiem for a Dream. The only slightly original aspect of this was that it was animated. I haven't seen an animated film of this type being made in the last 30 years. Although I do remember watching some 2D movies very similar to this that were made in the 1970's.I think this film was worth watching for conversation sake, but if you expect too much from it you may be let down as I was.
