Now Very Bad…
Japanese import cute as anything, even with Dudley Moore narrating. Amazing technical skill involved in 4-year project. Hope animals safe…

Positively Gumpian levels of mawkish pandering. Beyond insufferable. Rides coattails of Oscar noms into nauseating Jerry Maguire territory.
Fairly good realization of great book. Problems: animation creepy, feels like amusement park ride, animation creepy. Yes, bears repeating…
Reportedly this was originally MUCH darker. Would have loved to see that. As it is, this is a Murray & holiday classic, with brilliant cast.
One of top holiday movies for adults. Perfect vehicle for Leary’s biting humor. Spacey & Davis bicker wonderfully in late Demme’s best gift.
