Of course, it doesn't have the majestic momentum of "The Lord of the Rings", but the armored bear is endearing. As for Nicole Kidman, it's a perfect fit for the wise, vicious, self-righteous Snow White stepmother. Only Daniel Krezer has too few appearances (or too many cuts from the mainland), and his image is not full enough, and he is still 007 in a trance.
The plot is pretty tight, and there is no end to it. It would be a shame if there is no sequel.
