This is undoubtedly one of the worst animated movies I've ever seen. Plus, as a big fan of both James Bond and Sir Sean Connery (RIP), it was very disappointing to know that this was his final film before he passed away. Plus, with the unacceptable amount of sex appeal and profanity, this was definitely not a kid's movie.

The film takes place in Scotland where humans and andromorphic animals co-exist. For some inexplicable reason, Beavers are illegal. Sir William "Billi" Sedgewick (Sean Connery) is a veterinarian who lives om the town of Catterness, Scotland with a goat named Gordon (Alan Cumming). After a truck full of Beavers being forcibly relocated to Norway crashes, releasing the animals, an animal hating cop named McKenzie (Ford Kiernan) begins to hunt them down. Now Billi and his friends must band together to save the day. That's about all I bothered to gather from what I could bear to watch.

Seriously, the story is so incoherent and difficult to follow, you'll probably get a headache trying to figure it out. It feels like it's just a compilation of Connery's previous films mixed with barely any original material into one gigantic mess. The introduction alone is obviously based off of the opening credits of "The Spy Who Loved Me" for you James Bond fans out there.

The animation and scenery are terrible, only slightly better than "FoodFight" released the same year. The character models, both human and animal, are off-putting and poorly designed. All of the female characters have exaggerated curves that clash with their ugly faces. The animal characters are so sloppily made, they're hard to identify as either rabbits or beavers.

The voice acting and dialogue is as bad as the animation. Connery himself, who was in his 80s during production, sounds exhausted and pitiful, muttering his lines as if from his own bedroom in his pajamas right after waking up. Sometimes, it's hard to even understand what he's saying. Everyone else sounded no better and the child actors were outright annoying with their constant ear-piercing screams.

Overall, this was a horrible sendoff for Sean Connery, who should have retired for good after "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" which was a mediocre film unto itself, but still much better than this hot mess and at least it turned a profit. Instead, his career ended on a very bitter note that he didn't deserve.

I created an account just to review this. I am convinced that I died pressing play on this movie and the whole thing was the hell that awaited me in the afterlife. I have no clue why some people painfully subject themselves to this. This movie has a non-sensical plot, boring characters and absolutely horrendous visuals. I'm convinced that 70% of the budget was on Sean Connery, 1% for the animation and 29% crack for the production team. 0/10 would not recommend.

Firstly, the character design in this film is abysmal; every character is hard to look at it. Secondly, the whole concept is quite strange, and frankly pretty sinister - animals and humans live side-by-side and can talk with each other, yet cows are still milked, certain animals are threatened with extermination, etc... Beyond that the whole thing is very strange, the main character is apparently a retired vet, but also has been knighted? There's a policeman obsessed with catching a beaver? There's a duck who flies a plane?

The storyline veers from repititce and predictable to bizarre and inexplicable, and the jokes and stereotypes feel dated at best, and for a kids film, there are some weirdly sexual, and quite frankly offensively sexist moments with female characters.

I don't know who funded this but I feel bad for them.

Avoid.
