Unfair comment

I am originally from Scotland and agree with Zebra there on his/her comments about this being an excellent movie. I disagree with FeiLongEx who is from the US and heavily criticizes the movie, especially the accents, which he/she does not understand. I have seen many movies, animated and otherwise, that my 6 year old granddaughter enjoys, and which sometimes have atrocious American accent voice-overs that do not fit. Also, a number of movies starring Americans, such as Robin Hood King of Thieves and played by Kevin Costner who makes no attempt to hide his American accent. Remember that Mist is a BBC TV production and is not only in the best possible taste as a family story, but the voice-overs are mainly done by famous British and Irish actors and actresses.
