(seems funnier in German)
It’s like: An animated Back to the Future meets the “On Top of Spaghetti” camp song
Stars you’d know: That guy from Saturday Night Live…that girl from House Bunny…Mr. T
Their tagline: Prepare to get served.
My tagline: Raining food can make a big mess.
Verdict: Eh, not so much.
What started off as a good premise (outcast inventor suddenly invents a food machine that causes a once-deprived island to have a plentiful bounty of food) quickly turned into “is there a point yet”? The animation itself was fun and unique, with bug eyes and a cross between anime and Disney, but the plot just wasn’t there to carry the movie. 30 minutes in, I was ready to turn it off. I think I’ve been spoiled by Pixar and their actual attempts at entertaining the adults as well as the kids, but I guess I’m just too “mature” for jello mold romps and raining hot dogs.
