Great Film overall
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Nice opening and closing 3-dimensional effect zooming into (and out of, at the end) an elaborately embroidered tapestry having the characters of the story - mother goat and 3 kids, fox, snake, bird, and personality-imbued sun, cloud, and magic carpet - and their environment colorfully depicted.Some nice whimsical touches - the sun tickles a cloud to get rain, and throws little fireballs at the fox when he's trying to enter the goat's house through the roof - and the cloud quickly rains on the roof when it catches on fire. In the face-off between the mother goat and the wolf, she burnishes her horns while he is flossing his teeth immediately before the conflict.Both the wolf and the egg-stealing snake get their comeuppance at the end and tranquility is regained.Whatever the origin of fables/fairy tales, there are common threads in both Iranian and American tales - and anyone from any culture could be easily involved in the story told here.
