Advantages: Impeccable set and costume design. Disadvantages: A lurid over-reliance on sex and gore.
When Dorian Gray first arrives in London he is an innocent ripe for corruption. He is taken under the wing of decadent hedonist Lord Henry Wotton. Henry?s friend, the artist Basil Hallward paints a portrait of Dorian that captures him at the pinnacle of his youthful beauty. It is while gazing on the painting that Dorian trades his soul for eternal youth. As he descends into debauchery, the painting shows every mark of his corruption, while Dorian?s perfect beauty remains undiminished. As a result of his heinous acts, he flees the country, returning twenty-five years later, when he tries to seek redemption.

Advantages: A generally nice animated film Disadvantages: Lacks orignality, and it's no Monsters Inc!

The film is directed by Steve 'Spaz' Williams (I have no idea or desire to know why the 'spaz' part in his name), and produced by Kevin Wilma, Will Vinton, and Stefan Simchowitz.
The Story
Basically the story is this? there is a daddy lion Samson (Kiefer Sutherland), and his son Ryan (Greg Cipes) who live in the zoo. Samson has brought Ryan up telling him dramatic stories about his days in the wild. Ryan is going through a phase in his life (adolescence!) where he is feeling he cannot live up to his father's expectations - for a start he can't roar - he sounds more like a little pussy cat! Ryan decides that he will go to the wild in one ...
