I like this film. I smile from beginning to end. It looks brilliant and it evokes the cartoon faithfully. It's a kids film that makes an adult happy.

A film very loyal to E.C Segar comics ... an entertaining film with creative and well-made content .. Although there were many drawbacks, but it is good!
