Napoleon (1997)

So much average

Simply A Masterpiece

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Napoleon as a movie tends to be filled with joy, music and cute animals. Even with the flaws of the storyline the movie still is able to be enjoyable if you set aside all your critiques and just watch it as a movie. The characters and the lame humour actually made me laugh but it is actually the characters who make this movie.Without Birdo, Napoleon and all the other characters in this movie you would not have a movie and I give Kudos to all the voice actors for their amazing portrayal. I particularly enjoyed Birdo and the Koala but that's not to say that the others were bad. Even the cat was pretty well done.A nice cheerful movie, if a little old.

Napoleon was an enjoyable little film, and I liked watching it, but overall it was nothing special. I had remembered the film from my childhood, and decided to track it down and see it again, wanting to know if I'd enjoy it in my adulthood as well. Napoleon, the dog for which the film is named, was cute and so were plenty of the other animals, and the script was actually very well done and pretty excellent for a kid's film. Also, some material was sweet and laughable, but it gets very cheesy, and some stuff was just flat out stupid, such as the cat that is supposedly gone wild that thinks every living single creature is a mouse was very stupid, and like right before the end she's knocked to her senses and discovers that Napoleon's really a dog; What was up with that? Also, the kangaroo scene was annoying, and the way the string to the air balloon just unwrapped itself was pretty unbelievable, but I cut it slack, because it's a kid's film that's all in good fun, and overall it was very enjoyable and entertaining.See it if you really want to or are just curious; worth the watch, but barely. If you're not interested, it's best to leave it alone, but then, why would you even be on this page?

A great tour through Australia, the scenery is magnificent. My three year old nephew has watched this about 100 times and still demands it on average once a week. It's a good movie for young children but not too childish for adults to get some enjoyment out of it as well. One the whole family can watch.

Kids will love this movie too. If Walt Disney released this film, it would have been a big hit. The camera simply follows a curious puppy as it wanders through the woods encountering other animals. A large bird becomes his guide to this strange environment. There is no real danger, just adventure, with a humor based narrative added to the sound track.
