Blu-ray Review – The Missing Lynx

We see this type of production pop up every now and again. Trying to
compete with Hollywood animation factories like Disney and Dreamworks,
independent studios typically have a devil of a time trying to get a
foothold into the global market, often faced with lackluster budgets and
wheezy scripts as they cook up colorful CG-animated antics for the

Banderas, "The Missing Lynx" is similar to releases such as "The Wild"
and the recent "Escape from Planet Earth," attempting to drum up some
excitement with little in the way of cinematic might, relying on frantic
action, crude comedy, and artificial sincerity to make an impression
with wee ones who'd gladly watch a test pattern if it included the
promise of candy, soda, and popcorn. Exhaustively underwhelming and

anthropomorphized animals engaged in acts of panic and elastic
derring-do. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
