Poaching: briefly; we meet Eliza Thornberry [Voice by: Lacey Chabert:] she has been given the gift to speak to animals with only one rule; you can't tell anyone about your gift her father Nigel Thornberry/another character [Voiced by: Tim Curry:] is alongside his wife; Marianne Thornberry [Voiced by: Jodi Carlisle:] she is the camerawoman to her husband's animal documentaries very similar to Sir David Attenborough; but we have some poachers in the area.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script in conjunction with origin storyline/exposition character developments; at the beginning of this movie we get given the basic origin/exposition character developments which is perfectly functional and the framework and pacing of this 85 minutes film is good

Art, action and comedy; the art of this movie and I am going to take an educated guess here and say franchise in general, has a style of its very own which fits in really well; it has that rustic look and feel and presentation to it; which don't get me wrong it is very easy to settle down with but at the same time it a certain level of rawness to it; which fits in perfectly with this family as they spend a vast majority of the time moving from one place to another. The action sequences ranged from poaching and other heinous acts with animals and/or travelling, tracking down or coming in to land, the comedy comes to us via fitting in on some level or another such as the character wearing clothing or these characters coming in to land using parachutes when it doesn't completely go according to plan

Character developments and voice performances; other than the character developments I have already outlined in this content; the character developments and the voice performances are individually or together good; you can sense, feel and see the years of working on this franchise together for most [just to cover back either way,] really comes through in this film as they deal with things as best they can as a family unit as that level of authenticity comes through in their vocal performances.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; by and large this mark is a good reflection on this project; I have never watched the TV show, but based on this viewing experience, they just made a feature length of what this franchise is all about, which is now and again discussing animals in one way or another, we do also have some extra little bits and pieces in the ending credits and yes this film has quite a few awards accredited to its name such as 13 Nominations which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2003 Oscar Best Music, Original Song Paul Simon For the song "Father and Daughter"

 

In dedication; now sadly Tim Curry as unfortunately passed on, but be it theatre, cinema or/and TV his contributions to these industries will never be forgotten as the original Dr. Frank-N-Furter [in a theatre production/film production of The Rocky Horror Show in the early to mid-70s; he became the standard bearer for this role, which also became a positive light for the rainbow community, and he did various bits and pieces throughout the years as it relates to The Rocky Horror Show; a film documentary: Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror 2025 as himself or TV series: The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again 2016 as The Criminologist] or he had various film roles such as Muppet Treasure Island 1996 as Long John Silver; that without question, he very much saves this entire project and carries it on his back, whilst standing on one leg and finally taking this voice role from TV to movie; he is a member of the golden generation that are sadly coming to the end of the time on earth, but their lights will shine forever in the night sky above; RIP Tim Curry 1946-2026
