benjaminweber *WARNING: SPOILERS*I picked up a copy of this film in a charity shop, thinking it couldn't possibly be as badly animated as the cover art seemed to suggest. It was, and the ridiculousness didn't stop there. Within a couple of minutes of the start, it became very clear that the film was heavily borrowing from 'My Neighbour Totoro', essentially lifting the moving in scene directly from it. There was also a running gag of a hunter and his dog, who could be described entirely as a fat Dick Dastardly. The dog even laughs like Muttley at one point. Add to this the flying Bigfoot, one of whom takes off by farting, and a plot to use a hydroelectric dam to grind up pine-cones, and you have one of the biggest rush-jobs to ever make it to public release, arguably making 2012's FoodFight look professional!

CaptainCuddles I can see why this movie won the "Best Feature Film - Animation" award at the International Family Film Festival; little kids would enjoy this movie. However, if you're not a young child, then this movie probably won't be that awesome to you. The animation in this movie isn't very good; it's kind of choppy, and the two girls in it will take five seconds just to blink. The walk cycles are really weird, too. And yes, that big hairball on the movie poster is the "Sasquatch." The voice acting in this movie wasn't pulled off very well either; the voice actors of the main characters especially don't really have any expression in their voices. They just sound like they're reading a script. William Hurt voices the girls' father, and he whispers and speaks softly at inappropriate times. Yeah, I can't believe this is an actual movie. It looks more like a film by a college/animation student. I only gave this movie a two rather than a one because as terrible as this movie is, they somehow got award-winning actors like William Hurt, June Foray, and John Rhys-Davies to voice-act.

henri-lane27 First of all, I have to say the Bigfoot looks nothing like a Bigfoot, and I mean that in a bad way. It literally looks like a lump with fur. The animation is horrible to, and I mean Really bad. Some stuff doesn't have shadows or even Shading. The dad also has the most awkward walk cycle Ever! But here's the worst part. IT RIPS OFF MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO! The mom Bigfoot inflates herself, so she can fly, which even looks like that scene from Totoro. A dad and his two daughters move into a house near the forest. SOUND FAMILIAR? Then the house full of pine cones instead of acorns.There is also a completely useless sub-story about a guy that is a jerk to his dog, who tries to catch a Bigfoot. This never gets tied into the main story, ever. Much like the Chris-R "WHERES MY MONEY DENNY?" scene from "The Room" The only thing that keeps it from getting one star is the celebrity voices.

jocelyn21403 Not a huge fan of the animation, but the story is sweet. Not much conflict, and I like that the family is helping the Sasquatch. Only one real complaint: The dead mother. Why do the makers of kid's films find that so appealing? This movie reminds me a whole lot of My Neighbor Totoro. The animation in that movie is so much better, as are the actors. Both sweet movies about respecting nature and helping out. I like movies with strong female characters for my 2.5 year old to watch, and it's so hard to find them. I am glad my husband stumbled across this movie on Fios.
