    Movie Review | Ali | 9th August 2006

    Time was, a completely CG film was a cinematic rarity, something that could be cherished and enjoyed as a genuinely original experience, a piece of work that represented the pinnacle of technology in the industry and could be embraced in the same way our parents and grandparents first took to regular cel-based animation.
