    'Free Jimmy' the darker side of 'Free Willy'

    Great animation, convincing characters and decent sounds. Four druggies, three Lapland bikers and five T.W.A.T.S makes an interesting cocktail. This movie is anti-disney a good adult animation. The only criticism would be that I expected a punchier story line, especially given the big name voice-over actors involved.

    Jejune and predictable

    full of unsympathetic characters and completely predictable. Ended up paying more attention to cutting my fingernails.

    Poor production w/o original audio

    I was very disappointed to see that this DVD does not have the original audio, only the English audio. The humor in the original version does not translate very well to the English version. I do not understand why both could not be made available on the DVD, hence the two stars.
