FROM THE BACK OF THE BOX:
Get set for loads of laughter with four action-packed adventures starring Geronimo Stilton, the most famous New Mouse City journalist, who’s an unlikely, yet loveable action-hero with two left paws. Adventure always comes knocking for Geronimo and his pals, launching them paws-first into exciting capers filled with hilarious hijinks and far-flung antics that take them all around the world in search of the next big scoop.
FROM THE BACK OF MY BRAIN:
Geronimo Stilton returns in “Intrigue on the Rodent Express”. It’s more of the same, as we get four episodes thrown together for your kids to love. If they’ve seen one, they’ve seem them all. I say that you should stick to the proud legacy of letting cartoon rodents babysit your kids. Walt Disney raised your grandparents on this junk, then Annette Funicello ruined your parents, so now it’s your turn to pass along that afternoon charm.
I’m starting to like these little rat characters. Sure, they’re no “Littles”, but they work for what they are. There’s something about a rodent detective trying to solve a problem way too big for just one little guy that speaks to me. I’m not a rat, but I appreciate it when people can rise above their limitations to solve insurmountable challenges. Times like these, I wonder what to say after clearing an hour and a half of animated material. If it wasn’t terrible, then how can you truly knock it? But, it’s material aimed at children who are clearly out of your demographic. I should reproach it with the kid in a few years.
The DVD comes with no special features. The A/V Quality is strong enough for a feature like this. The lossy Dolby 2.0 mix bugs as an audiophile. However, the transfer provides enough support for standard definition. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to fans.
