Sherlock Holmes and the Great Escape

Even though this is clearly a film for kids, I could see there was effort in the making of this film. The animation is fairly good and the writing is actually interesting and creative. The story is pretty straightforward, but there are topics discussed that an older audience would better understand such as the harsh realities of a changing society and the forensic evidence that Sherlock presents when trying to crack the cases. The main characters in this film are also interesting and three-dimensional, and the way the story goes is captivating and romantic with a few sorrowful and serious moments. Overall, this family-friendly film is definitely worth a watch.
