Thank you so much for your kind words. The whole thing has been strangely and unexpectedly liberating.

Beautiful and dark in fine measures. Most evocative.

They should bury this movie in a quiet place and never speak of it again.

I wanted to love this movie, I really did. From the pre-Fest hype, to the adorable family in tartan, to the presence of Dame Shirley Bassey, I was ready to be charmed. Now admittedly, I’m not a 007 fan so I may not have been in on the joke early enough; and I know I am utterly spoiled by having seen every Pixar premiere in that very theater; but I really have to agree with you regarding the animation quality and the (lack of) story coherence.

I am more than willing to suspend my disbelief for a good movie, but when I find myself saying “Where did that come from?” and “This is just stupid” over and over again, during a CARTOON, no less, I know I’m in over my head. Plus, I was distracted early on by wondering if “beaver” has the same slang meaning in Scotland as it does in the U.S., or was that an unfortunate choice of mammal. I don’t think it was an accident, giving the ever-enlarging state of boobage on the female characters.

The ending perhaps sums up the whole state of affairs, as Sir Billi invites the mega-buxom American visitor to join him at his secret cliff to watch the sunset, and it was ALREADY DARK. Um, yeah.
