Featured review
I can't even count how many years in a row we had to watch this movie at school. The story is kinda dumb. The characters are stupid and unlikable. Its boring. The animation is ok I guess. I don't know how accurate this movie is to history but based on the other reviews I don't think that it is. I wouldn't really recommend watching this movie.
