Happily N'Ever After

Procrastinating on the year-summary post...
[No spoilers: this is just from watching a few trailers]

The good: MUCH better character designs than their previous film ("Valiant"--hideous designs where *everything* looked like a stupid pigeon, even the villainous German falcon). Mostly terrific voice acting (or maybe I just like Andy Dick).

There are three wolf characters (from various fables) who play almost exactly the same roles as the hyenas in Lion King, including an "Ed" character (boss-wolf, dumb-wolf, crazy-wolf).

The bad: One of the wolves has a great character design, but sounds like a doofus thug henchman (the kind that says "duh?" a lot); based on his design, he should sound more like a sinister Ricardo Montalban.

Because the film is CG and kind of stupid-looking, I'll have my work cut out for me trying to drag Zor to see it.

I think I'll probably be going to see it. I have to wonder which three fables the wolves are from, off the top of my head I can only think of two, the little red riding hood wolf and one from three little pigs.

There are a bunch of wolves as villains: "The wolf and the Seven Little Kids" (goats); "The Wolf and the Fox"; "Peter and the Wolf"; the Reynard/Isingrim cycle; Aesop's fables. Not sure how detailed they'll get: could just be three generic wolf-villains (though wearing granny-clothes means at least one is RRH-based).
