He's ashamed, embarrassed, let down and when his pack-leader father disappears after a mission, he is thought unsuitable to succeed him as top tog. He thinks how knows how to fix things, though. He reckons the power of the now missing moonstone is the source of his woes and he vows to repatriate it with his lost father and rectify things. What now ensues is a little bit predicable, but the characterisations are quite engaging and there is plenty of action. In typical Aussie fashion, it rather bluntly dismisses stereotype and prejudice offering us a lively and entertainingly busy animation. Yes, it's probably about twenty minutes too long but it ends well and as a counterpoint to the much bigger-budgeted Disney/Pixar efforts proves that some imagination and a sense of fun can still prevail even if the look of the thing isn't necessarily the best (I found the characters all a bit too angular). At times perilous, at times mischievous - but usually amusing. Give it a go. read more
