Reviews

Nippon-man

I like the voice actresses bit it was too childish. Story was cheap. It was boring.

Michael Eh?

For a kid's short animation, it was fine. The concept of using CGI for talking and facial expressions for stop motion figures feels like out of a page of Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds. It will be interesting if 3D studios will default to this new technic as cost cutting measure or will it simply disappear ... only time will tell.
