(More customer reviews)The Snurks is a really interesting movie with a concept that never really seems to have been done before. The plot revolves around animated children's show characters named Boo, Zino and a group of semi-villainous "Snurks". They get brought to the real world by a mad scientist trying to steal the ultimate power of the universe, something called Dalamite, which happens to be a part of the television world these characters come from. If you think the premise is weird, it gets weirder.
These one foot tall creatures must now battle a strange, unknown world, reclaim "the Dalamite" and return home to their beloved world, called "Gaia". I won't spoil the ending or any of the various subplots, but I will say that its an involved and interesting storyline, and many of the characters actually evolve, grow and change by the end, a rare thing in movies these days.
The visuals are stunning, and the attention given to details is meticulous. Many of the backgrounds contain visual reactions or subtle animation that is too often missing in animated movies today, moths buzzing around a street lamp, for instance.
On the whole, however, the movie falls short in a few places. None of the characters really resonated with me and as such came away as being forgettable. There were very few moments in the film that I would call memorable, and the climax of the movie takes far too long. Still, I would recommend this movie highly as a fun night of viewing.
