Brilliant and touching

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Unstable Fables Was A Direct To Video Trilogy Made In 2008 By The Jim Henson Company & Distributed By The Weinstien Company.The Film I'm Looking At "Toroiste Vs.Hare".This Is About Two Animals, Murray (Jay Leno) & Walter (Danny Glover) Awaiting The 15th Anniversary Of When Walter Beaten Murray At A Race.When A Fight Goes Between Them And Even Adding Their Own Children, Murray's Son Butch (Drake Bell) & Walter's Daughter Crystal (Keke Palmer), They Decide To Enter Ther Kids In A World Race For Father-Child.The Plot Sounds Predictable, But It Somehow Works.The Animation Is Okay With The Toroiste & Hares Mouths Not Having Ugly Lips. And The Voices Are Good Too.I really can't say anything else but Toroiste Vs.Hare Is A Fine Movie and is the best of unstable fables.Jjkd uh ddhdhdhe uh I've g e u did he g sh sh suddenMy badIf you like the unstable fables,Watch it!D.

I always loved the classic fairy tale where slow and steady wins the race. The Tortoise and the Hare, written by Aesop, had quite a history, having been adapted into numerous cartoons and TV specials. Strangely, there's never been a film adaptation, understandably due to the short plot. The Jim Henson Company of all people took it upon themselves to bring to life the world that the fairly tales' greatest rivals live in as a CG family film.Interestingly, this movie's story actually takes place after the classic race. Murray Hare (Jay Leno) had to live with his humiliation of losing to a slowpoke for years while Walter Tortoise (Danny Glover) gets to bask in wealth and glory. When the opportunity arrives in the form of the parent-child Nature Adventure Race, Murray challenges Walter to a rematch, which the tortoise agrees to, and both drag their kids, nerdy Butch Hare (Drake Bell) and sassy Crystal Tortoise (Keke Palmer), along for the ride. As the two teams race and the rivals continue bickering, both Butch and Crystal get along fast after quickly looking over their differences and their fathers' rivalry. If they can get Murray and Walter to work together, they may all survive the dangers of this race.I have to say, this is a well-made movie. The surprising cast does a great job portraying the characters. Jay Leno nails the arrogant and humorous personality Murray Hare brings to the table. Danny Glover also does a good job with the ever slow-but-steady quality that characterizes Walter Tortoise. Drake Bell and Keke Palmer have a surprisingly excellent chemistry as the interactions between their characters, Butch and Crystal, are a load of fun to watch. It's nice to see that these kids are sorta the opposite of their fathers and to see them become friends is very interesting. The rest of the cast is fine.The jokes are basically good (couple of which made me laugh) and the obstacles the hares and tortoises face are pretty creative. Character development is one of the film's strongest points as both teams go through some great personal changes as they interact with each other and go through this race. The CG is overall decent, not meant to be all realistic like the effects for Avatar or Peter Jackson's King King.Despite a couple of animals that looked odd, this is a fun, good old-fashioned family film. You will at least like it and if you have kids, they will most likely enjoy it as I did. Definitely worth a watch more than the other Unstable Fables films, so check it out!

The graphics and the vocals were nice. Danny Glover did a nice job of a "slow" turtle drawl. Jay Leno is recognizable at the hare, of course. The story was just...blah. I found myself actually about ready to fall asleep after the first 25 minutes or so. It should've been FUNNIER. There was humor in it, just not enough. It was if they were just showing you what happens along the race, and it wasn't exciting or interesting. Probably the funniest characters in the movie were the two wives (Vivica A. Fox was the tortoise wife). I'm giving it a 6 out of 10. It's not terrible, but it's not worth seeing either. Perhaps young children would really enjoy it..?

A 3D cartoon that provides more than just a graphically different perspective on a well known, or at least loosely known and widely recognized, fable.Unfortunately for my taste, it wasn't unstable in the way Happy Tree Friends or South Park is. It's more along the lines of Monsters, Inc. A kid-friendly story with enough complexity and adult issues woven in that parents will be happy they watched with their 8-year-old, and 13-year-olds won't complain that they were forced to come along.And you get some impressive 3D animation that rivals the kind you see in computer games for its ability to feel the depth and dimension and bring you into the situation more than standard films are capable of doing.
