Review Time: this film is excellent.

Fundamental elements: there are words on screen, background music, cultural elements, quick moving effects, mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used [I think it is a very, very tiny element but if I pick up on it in another project and mention it; it wouldn't seem right for me not to mention it now,] time jumps and place jumps.

Comedy level/Action sequences: these two elements have a lot to do with one another, so I may as well talk about them together. The first thing I should point out is this; this title has a very strong Looney Tunes feel to it, when our lead character makes his presence known, so for one example he could be making balloon shapes and his final balloon shape is a Tommy Gun [which turns into a real life version of itself] and even when this character apparently gets shot, he turns it into this award-winning sequence. Now yes I am being brief in these two elements, but individually or together these two elements do so much for this project.

Musical numbers/Artistic visions: if my memory is correct there are three musical numbers, the first one is okay [you have our lead role showing his appreciation for he is seeing] and the other two musical numbers are enthusiastic with different things happening in them and generally speaking the artistic visions in this title well it is colourful and extravagant.

Character developments/Performances: the more I think about it the more I am comfortable saying one of these characters/performers is poor, very poor in fact there is another character/performer which is poor but in comparison to the previous one I would say that these particular character developments/performance; you know this performer is just there and there are some other characters/performances which are just following their character types and doing their job. Now we move onto our lead character/performer and the character he had what seems to be natural chemistry with [character name Milo/real name Max] the dog. Now straight off the bat our main character/performer makes this film what it is and it is very easy for me to say what I am going to say next because it is true, this lead character/performer brings so, so much to the table, such as his enthusiasm, his ability to make dialogue and chemistry with Milo mean a lot [Milo/Max does a lot in this relationship as well] and our lead role in any other dialogue exchange makes it feel comical or serious or mixes them together or something like this depending on what the situation requires him to do regardless who he is working with or off and he is able to build chemistry with them, so where there should be chemistry in this title there is chemistry

This film receives: 8/10, now after taking everything into consideration this mark looks and feels right and yes this storyline may be cheesy, but the lead character/lead role is a colossal contribution to this mark after everything is said and done.
