LaMB - Premier Impressions

Gosh, how do I start?

Well, simply put, it falls short. Very short.

For all the hype it was given, it feels very lacking in terms of many things.

Firstly, the animation. Oh, God...the animation. It's bad, real bad. Their 3D CGI is pretty much fine, but the normal animation? It's stiff. Stilted. Unnatural. It tries to cover this up with the CGI, but considering this shouldn't be mainly about effects, well, you get the idea.

Since this is their first production, it probably deserves some measure of pardon. However, for something that had so much going for it, it disappoints greatly.

Second, the presentation. It is possibly linked to the above problem, but in this production, it seems really hard to connect or empathize with the characters. Scenes that are probably meant to be truly heartwarming or touching become absolutely narmy.

I just hope the 1 hour special redeems it. Otherwise...

They would've wasted an interesting plot with subpar presentational values.
