That opinion seems to be largely in line with the thoughts of the audience who saw the film at the Annecy animation festival a couple weeks ago. I could not find many people at the festival who had anything positive to say about the film. >> The full posting by Jerry Beck is here: <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/archives/2006_06.html#002005" target="_blank">http://www.cartoonbrew.com/arc hives/2006_06.html#002005</a> The comment which Jerry Beck quotes is found here: <a href="http://its-a-wrap.blogspot.com/2006/05/sneak-preview.html" target="_blank">http://its-a-wrap.blogspot.com /2006/05/sneak-preview.html</a>
