Quote:
While the animated characters are rather straightforward, the textures in the film are quite remarkable. From human hair to Wiser the owl’s feathers to the patina of the china figurines, the quality of the computer animation is quite good. If the script doesn’t compare to the best of films of Pixar and DreamWorks, the animation clearly builds on what has been done earlier to good effect.
The film also manages to avoid the “uncanny valley” effect, where the more realistic the animated human characters are the more artificial they seem, especially around the eyes. Of course most of the characters here are fantasy creations, but even in the Kansas scenes the human characters are just cartoonish enough to work. This seems to be the first independent feature from Prana Animation in India, which has done some work-for-hire for Disney. If they get a script that plays for adults as well as kids, they could be a studio to watch. Until then “Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return” is strictly for the little ones, although serious students of computer animation may want to take a look as well. -via
