Just a quick review, I thought that this was a very cute movie. Most animated films are I suppose (unless of course you're going for something a little darker like 'Watership Down'). Anyway, this film is based on a video game character who wrecks buildings for a living and after 30 years he decides that enough's enough and he's tired of being the bad guy so leaves his game in search of adventure and to ultimately become a hero. As most cartoons (sorry...animated films), this is a feel good story that will have you wishing you could also play inside the 'Sugar Rush' game. One thing which I find hard to believe though is that this film cost approx. $165m to make...really? For a cartoon?! Fortunately for them however is that they've already made around $185m so far. Oh yeah I loved Jane Lynch as Sergeant Calhoun! So on a closing note, if you got some time to spare then watch it, otherwise wait for it to come onto TV.
