Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Robert Reynolds This is a cute little uncomplicated cartoon about a turtle who wants to fly more than anything. Because I want to talk about a few details, this is a spoiler warning: Herman the Turtle dreams of flying, reads books on the subject and is teased about it by birds, including a bald eagle. He even tries taking flying lessons and building himself some wings. He ultimately winds up underwater, where he finds a treasure chest. He bribes the eagle to take him up in the air so that he can fly.There are some really good visual gags in the sequence where the eagle takes him up, with the turtle always saying "Higher!" whenever the eagle asks him if the altitude is good enough. Finally, the eagle says, "End of the line" and drops Herman off. Herman grabs two of the eagle's tail feathers and starts flapping his arms furiously. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't work very well for him at all and he drops rapidly to meet the ground.The narrator announces Herman's demise in somber tones as the scene shifts upward to "Turtle Heaven" and we see Herman flying with angel's wings and happy as a clam.This is available on one of the Columbia House DVDs and is well worth watching. Recommended.
