Well, apparently Strange Magic totally bombed on Rotten Tomatoes (critics gave it around 11%, users gave it around 55%). Shame, animated movies in the fantasy genre are rare (I think the Shrek movies are the only other ones I know of) and that one actually looked pretty well-animated but someone else dropped the ball on the storyline and humor. If I was an animator who spent loads of hours for a movie and that happened, bleh, I think I'd pull my hair out. Or if I had to come up with the story and the humor for a movie that so much time and money was going into to be fully animated, you can bet I would amp my creative juices to the max to come up with something that would be a grand slam.

I take Rotten Tomatoes with a LOT of grains of salt, though. Con Air, one of my favorite action movies, only got a 55% on there (essentially an "F" if this was an exam) and gave Shooter only a 48%, which I thought was also a great action flick. And yeah, there's times when they give movies I thought were junk ratings in the 90s (91 for The Departed? Seriously?).
