After reading through a mess of mostly negative reviews, I thought I'd add my two cents. My family and I, LOVE "The Snurks"! We've probably seen it 15 times or more. Who really cares about nitpicking on all the technical junk or whining about unrealistic sociological differences. It's not supposed to be real, it's an animated film!! If you sit through the movie with your kids and watch it for it's entertainment value, you will NOT be disappointed. The Snurks is a fun action packed beautiful film with plenty of humor and suspense. Perhaps the mere fact that this movie is not loaded with the sly adult humor that most films (animated included) sadly think they need to have, is the reason for the negative comments. I don't know. I DO know, however that this movie is worth watching again and again!!

Bad 08/15 story. They made the same failures like made in Final Fantasy(Spirits within). It's an standard, I would call it "american story". Not funny. And to technically without spirit.Probably I have watched to many Ghibli movies. And there is not one character I like. They are all stupid and to "designed".watch an good German made (animation-)movie watch "Obelix and Asterix in Amerika".Another tip: Watch this movie without sound, it's a really nice CG Animation without story.

I'm left incredulous that anyone could see this film as anything but insulting. My 12 year old thought it was moronic. That's fine. Maybe he's too old for it. My 9 year old thought the story was stupid and the characters annoying. Maybe she was too old. My six year old left the room and asked to be told when the movie was over. These kids love films. The worst thing that a film maker can do in making a kids film is to assume that kids are stupid. This is not worth a rental, this is not worth borrowing from a friend, this is a film to use as punishment. If you still insist on watching it after reading this, make sure you take a gravol!

Overall, The Snurks is really great movie. A Modern Sci-Fi Fantasy full of comedy, action, drama and suspense.The visuals are very impressive. The computer generated animation of "The Snurks" is as good as any Pixar or Dreamworks movie. First CG movie made entirely in Germany.The story line is unique enough to keep the attention of children and adults. Toy Story with a Shrek attitude. I am not a movie spoiler, so I will not go into detail.The acting uses motion capture to create very realistic characters. Great voice-over work.The direction of the script keeps you entertained throughout the entire movie. A complete first rate production. Last Michael Kamen soundtrack.
