Customer Reviews

Exceptional animation displaying a nerdy script

This film was supposedly built on a game. And as with most films that are game-oriented, they fell short of the game and a good film. This is one of those films that it would be better to watch the DVD extras and find out what they were trying to accomplish. Otherwise, the story will seem even lamer than it is. The only thing saving this "movie" is all the extra goodies on the DVDs. However, those goodies can only count for so much. The animation is impressive, maybe not as impressive as advertised, but impressive nonetheless. The characters look like they must have sucked their thumbs as children. Unfortunately, the story is not so impressive. It looks like it was contrived just for the graphics. What was the buzzing in the background? On it was someone's idea of background music that played over and over (sort of cartoonish itself). I would be more elaborate, but there is not too much to elaborate on. A better title would have been "Gag me, Gia" or "Ghost Toasties." In a last-ditch effort to save this dog, it has been issued on Blu-Ray. We have already established that it is not the graphics that need improving.
