    The animation is unbelievable. Definitely going to pave the way for animated movies in the future. It looked more realistic than real life does. The story was actually pretty good too. I saw it just to see the animation but was taken in by the story which isn't very complex but detailed enough to keep you into the movie. There was comedy, action and drama. I recommend watching just for the sake of the animation and you'll be pleasantly satisfied with the plot.

    I was totally blown away with this awesome movie from my pre-conceived expectatons of the movie. Frow the very beginning the animation and photography was breath taking. The plot/storyline was predictable and we have seen it before--good vs evil but I guarantee you have never seen this type of treatment in any other movie. As the plot evolved the movie became almost "spiritual"--two brothers jealous of the father's favor, one rebelious son out to prove his manhood who actually becomes the "savior" character of the movie. The detail of the feathers and fur on the owls was quite realistic and awesome. The flight with wide wingspread and the 3D made me feel like I was riding one of them. I even saw a little blue bird fly from two seats on my left into the screen. I recommend this movie very highly although there are several violent fight scenes that may be a bit scary to the younger ones. The good vs evil story prevails and you leave the theater in awe.

    This was an absolutely phenomenal movie of faith in the unseen, the power of the heart and commitment to honor who you are in the threat of danger. The music to the sky was wonderful in an almost spiritual sense of empowering one to follow their dreams through to realization.
