My Comment:
What was that? That was the most boring cartoon I've ever watched. It's stiff and inflexible cartoon. And I think it's not the right story to turn it into a movie. Roald Dahl was a genious! I love all his stories, Matilda, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, but this movie was so unimaginative unlike Charlie and Matilda. They just picked the wrong ones. However, the dubbers were great, they're good actors and dubbers.

My Comment:
It was really a long journey, felt like watching Movie TV or perhaps just an extensive TV series. It was not too boring actually, but, the movie's too long and i'm sure it could be briefed to be much shorter. And, I guess this movie was good in women in 40's but not good to anyone below that number. The jokes were cheesy, the scenes were conventional, like stuck only with that sets.

My Comment:
It's wonderful...
Food is the most delightful thing in our lives..
French cuisine represented it very well...
I'm going to read julie powell's blog and julia child's "mastering the art of french cuisine"
And definitely going to make some from the recipes
This movie was really delightful and happy to watch
but not good enough to get an oscar
