Mixed feeling about this one. The story was fun, although a bit cartoonish (duh) but the animation seemed less advanced than I expected. Close-ups were striking at first but the trick of having the character's facial hair moving around came across as artificial. It looked for all the world like the inadvertent hair movement we saw in the original King Kong which was a result of the limitations of the technology at the time.
I also had trouble with the lead...voiced by George Clooney. He was an insufferable egotist. The script dealt directly with this but it didn't make it any easier to watch.
But it all raced along lickety split and was amusing enough for what it was.
