M for Menacing.

Director: Shane Acker.
I didn't like it. This film was originally a short and after winning many awards was backed by the likes of Tim Burton and made into a feature. It's little button eyed hessian zipped characters are very quaint but there's something unfitting about these odd little creatures being voiced by Elijah Wood, John C Reilly and Jennnifer Connelly. It really felt like a short film that had been stretched out in length but not in depth. So bleak. Maybe Im still too high on Ponyo's sparkle.
The one thing I did like: On the cover it is rated M and the description reads "menacing scenes". I've not seen that description before! I like it though. M for Menacing. Tee hee.
