The biggest problem with this movie....

...aside from other issues it had, was that the characters were not really into the story. It was is if the actors were bored and waiting for the next part of the script to move the story along. They didn't help it flow naturally like in the cartoon. Even the narrator at the beginning sounded like she was reading a script instead of telling a story from her heart. The lack of of emotions really sucked the life out of this movie. Everything felt like it was being rehearsed instead of living with the story's events.
