The story is done well, taking the legend that is Herakles and adding to it. The language used is modern,which makes this an easier read, though you can go pages at a time here and not see a single word and still have the story progress.

The bus scene is hilarious and the script is hokey at times, but if you don't take it too seriously I think it's just fine.
Others had mentioned the CGI being sub par, but it didn't bother me as annoying or stand out as being bad.
Unfortunately, the film did not do well at the US box office, so probably done for good unless rebooted by Disney now that thy own everything.
Maybe Deadpool or the X-Men will show up with Aliens and Planet of the Apes and there will be an all out world challenge! (Doubtful I suppose...)

They are mistaken for Aztec gods and must keep up their farce in order to leave with some gold, and their heads.
It comments on the way some cultures are explored by explorers and in its subtle way, teaches us to open out minds and eyes to the ways of others.
A beautiful tale of fun and friendship, the humour is great for kids, with some adult jokes in there to keep the parents entertained too.
One of DreamWorks great animated films, it is a must for all ages.

The Plot: Sebastian Cabot narrates the adventures of bumbling bear Winnie the Pooh as he battles a nest of vicious bees over a trove of honey, weathers a terrible wind storm and endures the foibles of the hyperactive tiger Tigger, all while singing and bumbling his way through the Hundred Acre Wood. Kanga, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit and Eeyore round out the menagerie in this trio of animated tales adapted from A.A. Milne's celebrated series of children's books.
I also love Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore.
A classic movie, with adorable and lovely charcters.

Artemis Fowl was intended to be a Summer Hit for Disney until the world got his with a pandemic. As a result, it was released straight to Disney's streamer with relatively lackluster fanfare.
I now see why there wasn't much excitement surrounding the release.
Artemis Fowl is a classic example of money not being able to make everything better.
The movie tries to explain itself haphazardly and never actually gets around to doing so. Anybody new to the story line with mightily struggle trying to understand what is happening and why. Anyone who is familiar with the story will wonder how they got to this movie from the source material.
I have an eight year old and a ten year old and they both thought the movie was "meh." I think that was being gracious.
