Directed by Terry Gilliam

Terry Gilliam borrows heavily from his past, particularly Baron Munchausen, in this dull computer generated mess. While working with Monty Python, Gilliam developed a distinctive style of animation that relied on stop-motion animated cut-outs. It is still a wonder to behold. Unfortunately, the conversion to modern computer-generated animation has stripped his work entirely of personality. If you've seen Baron Munchausen you can't help but wonder what this could have been, perhaps a sequel or extension of that wonderful movie. Instead, this movie relies on video-game style graphics, some horrible green-screen work and a chorus of policemen in drag.
