A Good Story Stripped To Nothing, 2 April 2006
Author: inshadowz (inshadowz@gmail.com) from Norway

I first saw the Norwegian dubbed adaptation of the first part, and was horrified. With the original English voices it was marginally better, but I could still have done well without it. I think my greatest handicap in this is that I'd read the book before watching the cartoon. I swear I will never, ever watch the remaining episodes.

Everything essential has been stripped from the original story, and what little they left in is drowned in poor animation and amputated dialog. The {original English} cast have done a very good job with the voices, all things considered, but sadly it makes little difference with the final result. It looks cheaply made and the characters lack any hint of life, just like any run-of-the-mill cartoon aimed at children who just want to see a bunch of cute bunnies moving about and talking. In my humble opinion, this one is not worth the watch, no matter how old you are.
