Titan A.E. has been hyped by some as the best animated film of the decade. I guess this is true, because of it's release only a few months into this decade. While the film is visually spectacular, and has a great cast, it lacks a little in the story department. Every sci-fi & action flick cliche is used to try and get the viewer's adrenaline flowing, but the film never reaches the point where one thinks the unthreatening villains might triumph, or makes you want to cheer for the good guys. Don Bluth has directed much better films, and will surely direct better films in the future. If the same amount of effort was put into srorytelling that was used to incorporate skillfully hand drawn characters into state-of-the-art computer animated environments, this might have been one of the best animated films of all time. Unfortunately, all you get is some really pretty eye candy, and a bunch of characters that are better suited for a video game than a feature film.
