This is quality, and its danish. I'm very proud. The story is great, all the basic rules for an animated film is upheld. The combination of computer animation and animation the old fashion way, with pencil and paper, is very good. It's not that obvious when it's one or the other animation type, like in e.g. "Prince of Egypt" or "Anastasia". Though these two titles are very good animated features they do suffer from this problem. This is very nicely done is this film.
