Faint hearts never won fair sea lionesses
This movie is definitely impressive (as it says on the box) when you look behind the scenes and learn the history of this film's production.One man had a dream to make an animated movie for his kids and other young children. Phil Nibbelink worked so hard for years to make it a reality, animating the entire film by himself. Recorded the voice actors and edited it all himself. Marketed it and got it in theaters by himself.With this fact in mind, you learn to really appreciate this gem. It isn't without its fair share of problems. This movie is not perfect. You can take this film next to a company made production and tell the difference, regarding to animation, song writing, pacing, etc. It is definitely for young, young kids (2-5yo).I found it on Netflix years ago while I was a freshmen in college and shared it to my friends, who were really into Shakespeare. This movie almost destroys these friendships. Here I am, years later, wanting to get into the animation business, and writing this review to share that this film is not for everyone, but I found it very inspiring.

They Love it, but best watched by little ones.
This movie is like toddler crack.They can't get enough of it.Unlike other kid movies, however, it is not appealing to adults (or even older kids) in any real way. Since I read this entire movie was basically done by one person, I hesitate to critique it thoroughly or harshly -- because for one person it is an amazing accomplishment.But, it is not a really good kid movie in that "the best kid shows also appeal to adults" way (aka: Flintstones, Jetsons, and just about any Pixar or Disney creation).However, as I said, the toddlers LOVE it, and that is what is really important since it is for them.

Love this movie!
This is such a cute movie! My 2 and 6 year olds loved it. It kept them interested the whole time. Romeo was by far their favorite character. Would recommend to all ages! :)

Waste of money
It only works on the computer and only plays the first chapter. Waste of money and now my daughter is upset she watch it.

If you want your R&J different from the usual play approach - or perhaps doing it for an exam - this is a good place to start. It is very entertaining.

I give it my SEAL of approval!
Awesome movie! The animation is a little funny at times, but seeing as this whole thing was animated by just one person, this movie is really impressive. I love it!

An A+ Film
I was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I saw on the web, I thought this film by Phil Nibbelink (director of An American Tail : Fievel goes West) was very good from the moment I saw the trailer; and also I love seals. I always love the works of Shakespeare (ever since I studied him in my High School English Classes),and I agree with Laura Tiffany of "Home Media Magazine" and Rick Bentley of "Fresno Bee" : It's Impressive and a sweet film that should delight the family. Overall all that, I give this a big A+ for :Great Backgrounds and Excellent Color Styling and...Very Good Music!A++

For all ages and for Shakespeerefans
this film is so cute, funny and hillarious. Perfect for kids and (strange enough) also one of the best movies ever made based on the play of shakespeere.
