Crazy Credits

This motion picture is entirely fiticious. Any similarities to actual humans or Gayans is purely coincidental. Which is a pity, in case of Alanta.

User Reviews

Terrific

This movie is so cute! It has all the stuff the rest of the CGI animated stuff has except for the humor displayed. But, we must keep in mind this is the first German CGI animated flick ever. So, maybe some of their humor is different from ours in the USA. Still, it makes it to nice, fun level.

I loved all the characters, and the facial characteristics of them were wonderful and a delight to see.

I will admit the rats in the chase sequence would be a bit scary for the wee ones, but I saw Bambi and cried my eyes out at their age. So, I think maybe the kiddies will be tough enough for this.

I give it an 8 out of 10. Keep the kids under about eight from watching it. The rest? You've said worse around your kids by that time. Let them have a romp through Gaya, why not?
