A Review of "The Main Event".......2006-11-01

I have just viewed Thr Roach Approach's The Main Event and found it to be a charming animated story with a biblical theme. Even though it's a child-oriented movie, it is entertaining for adults as well. I strongly recommend it for viewing for the entire family.

Forgetable.......2006-03-10

I began watching this DVD (with my three daughters) with a very clear and open mind. I was not expecting "Pixar standards" by any means, but I was hoping for something creatively engaging. Wow... it didn't take long to realize that there was no chance of that happening. This project is just flat. The script is horrible, the director seems under-qualified and the voice talent offers nothing. While certain shots of the characters look well-made (mostly the close-ups due to the lighting/shading), most of the animation is second rate at best. This entire DVD (including the special features) is uninspired, creatively devoid of all life and just plain one- dimensional. Don't waste your money on this one.

Splendid!.......2005-10-15

A new twist to the oldest stories are just what is needed to spark the attention of the younger generation. Kids will love these characters obviously created by someone who is genuinely interested in changing the world through love of, and faith in God. Making it fun is part of the attraction! The sweat and attention to detail that went into these products is obvious. The star-level talent contributing to the music package speaks (sings) for itself. Other reviewers with shallow comprehension who can't spell 'hurricane' will fail to see the entertainment value and will selfishly withhold this entertaining teaching tool from children with eager and open minds. I find that offensive.

The worst kind of retelling of sacred stories........2005-10-13

I'm glad I previewed this before showing it at my church. A child might leave this movie believing that roaches were there in the lion's den helping to mediate between the lions and Daniel. Add a rapping bat with heavy gold jewelry, and the power of the original story is completely lost. I can't in good conscience even pass this on to someone else, as I find it so offensive. It will be in this week's garbage.
