This seems like a quality tie-in game.

What was with the random cut-away to the two owls fighting?

The film was surprisingly good.

I doubt this will be.

I'm pretty sure those owls would have a completely rational fear of Owlbears.

So... the only actual scene with characters acting is inane bickering and the actual plot is recounted by a bored, fast-talking narrator. I think this a good example for the upcoming Unskippable feature film:

"How to not make cutscenes. PLEASE! DON'T DO IT!"

Loved the video. I actually saw the original film and it was pretty well done. Based on what I've seen of the game, er, not so much. Fun fact: The original film was made at an animation studio in Australia, which would explain why every character has a British-sounding accent.

I'm sorry, I read that as "unflappable groin reflex".

How does one flap a groin?

Actually, don't answer that. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

I've seen plenty of groins flapped.
