I'm fully aware that I'll be known as the Animated Movie Guy on this blog, and I love it! Anyway, I came to realize that there's this new trend in Hollywood. Since the huge success of the Legend of the Guardians movie, everyone is rushing to pick their favorite animal and make one of their own. More of a quickie, actually.
However, this one is excellent. And I'm not just saying that because turtles are our sponsors and we love them very intensively. I'm saying it because it perfectly presents the ups and downs in a turtle's life.
Everyone knows that a turtle's wisdom is undisputed. They can live longer than us, they have been around longer than us and they have seen a great amount of things and events, big and small. Throughout the movie, the main character's adventures are narrated by his older self.
His journey shows his miraculous survival only minutes after birth, his "childhood", his adolescence, his experiences with humans, the never-ending search for his true love. Now, you're probably thinking that every animated motion picture has these qualities. Maybe it does, but never have I seen it presented in this fashion. It truly is majestic, as it should be since it follows a creature that is the almighty turtle.
An excellent laughter and emotion driven journey which gets 8 out of 10.
