Synopsis:
Soren, a young barn owl, is kidnapped by owls of St. Aggies, ostensibly an orphanage, where owlets are brainwashed into becoming soldiers. He and his new friends escape to the island of GaHoole, to assist its noble, wise owls who fight the army being created by the wicked rulers of St. Aggies.

Review:
When I came out, my first thought was. this is definitely an Australian production and a quick Wiki confirmed it. Cuz of the amount of Australian accents for the VOs...

A boring film this was... in 2D, I would imagine, maybe it would be slightly better in 3D, am not going to pay to find out. As an animation, it's not bad (standard of animation that is). As a story, it sucks. Wonder why, since it's past on a 3 part book, and this was but the first, meaning, it really should have more depth...

So.. I wouldn't really reccommend it, unless you are into owls, or if you are into watching a cartoon that just falls short of saying "crikey" every 3 seconds. Definitely, an over-rated cartoon. Don't waste your last dollar on it.
