Query: A valiant effort and miserable failure

It's been a long time since I attempted to watch this [film], but not long enough. The author is certainly entitled to his own interpretation, but unless it's a vaguely entertaining one I really wish he wouldn't try to foist it off on others. This movie just plain [is not good] -- annoying animation, obnoxious voices, and worst of all, a complete butchering of the spirit of the book.
