Featured review
Beware of the Chubbchubbs!
My parents dragged me to cinema because of "Stuart Little 2" - while this movie was not a bad one the opening was worth all the money.
The opening turned out to be a (sadly) short movie titled "The Chubbchubbs". It was more than entertaining - the animated characters were downright funny (for example, you can see Darth Vader and Yoda arm wrestling).
It is obvious that the creators of this movie put a lot of effort into it. Both graphics and story (short as it is) were excellent. The movie made me laugh continuously and I don't think I was the only one who wished there had been more once it was over.
Now I just have to convince my Granny to give me one of those Chubbchubbs for Christmas.
What? You want to know what a Cubbchubb is? Well, I certainly won't spoil you the fun of finding out for yourself. All I can say is that I highly recommend this movie if you like to laugh. And who doesn't?
