CGiii Comment

In 1995, Terracino made a short film...nothing else, until now.

In 1995, Terracino should have ended his career as an auteur.

The biggest problem is the acting...or, lack of. It comes across as a youth group film project with some parents thrown in to give an extra age dimension.

The other problem is...Elliot, no matter at what age he is, he's still a complete and slappable little prick.

There is some inventiveness...the animation - still, there is absolutely nothing in this film that justifies a charge to see it.

Please make it 17 more years before Terracino adds to his portfolio...
