Flawed but very beautiful and enchanting! I think this movie is very fun and enchanting to watch,although there are some scenes that didn't work out too well. Romeo's friends were a little overboard with the jokes I must agree but the other characters were pleasing like Friar Lawrence(as a sea otter! Too cute!) The kissing fish was cute,too,and the animation was done wonderfully for just one man who used Flash. Now that's impressive! So overall this movie has its flaws,but in a world of 3-d animated movies nowadays,this is a great refresher for anyone who missed the wonders of 2-d animation that capivated us quite a while ago.
Nauseatingly Cute, but relatively awkward overall, a very sweet and endearing movie (with freakishly cute animation), but it tries much too hard to stay true to the original story, while pushing the Shakespere angle WAY too hard. ("To be or not to be" is uttered far too often). For those of you worried about the kiddies, don't worry, the ending isn't as dark as the original, but most children will lose interest long before then, from the pseudo-songs and irritating villain and best friend. Rent it, or at least wait so you don't have to shell out $20+.
