A veteran postman finds his beliefs challenged after he enters a TV talent show competition.
I'd never want to stand in the way of artists pushing things, but messing with Postman Pat is probably a step too far.
Mild entertainment purely for children.
To be fair, this is a perfectly serviceable kids' film that delivers a strong central message and should play fairly well to its target audience of very young children.
Disa can't really satirise society's homogenised speed-freakery when his songs feature Ronan Keating and his animation looks scarcely finished.
It’s a bit Wallace & Gromit, a bit Doctor Who and just as silly and overexcited as a four-year-old after an excess of fizzy drinks.
Verdict: Misjudged kiddie flick.
Although without much in the way of nudge-wink Pixar-style humour and pathos, mums and dads are less likely to be quite so enthralled.
Not a first class package but delivered with some heart.
This has little to entice the over-sixes and plenty to scare the under-fives.
