The House of Magic
Thunder, an abandoned young cat seeking shelter from a storm, wanders into the strangest house imaginable, a residence owned by an old magician and brimming with a dazzling array of automata and gadgets. Not everyone welcomes this newcomer to the troupe, as Jack Rabbit and Maggie Mouse conspire to eject Thunder. Things worsen when the magician lands in hospital, and his scheming nephew seizes the opportunity to profit by selling the mansion. Determined to earn his place, Thunder recruits a band of the magician's quirky assistants to defend his magical new home.

A great opening scene and an amusing end scene aside, <em>'The House of Magic'</em> isn't anything I'll remember with that much fondness. I will say the animation is much better than I had anticipated, it's nothing near a high level but it is absolutely fine; nothing bad about it in truth. The cast are serviceable if forgettable, I wouldn't say any of them are better or worse than their colleagues - which I suppose is a minor positive, given no-one grates with their voice performance. I found that the mesh of plots didn't work as good as it possibly could have, granted it isn't terrible but we don't really get enough of either in my opinion. A bit of magic and a bit about the cat's story, it ends up just becoming a standard lacklustre and predictable villain-centric plot.

I love animated films, watch them all the time. But with all films I give them 10min and if they don't impress then it's on to the next movie. This film didn't make 5min sorry! I have an 8 year old daughter, and I believe children will rise to the next level if encouraged to do so in a safe and loving environment and watching things a 2 year old could understand is not going to help them grow or mature either intellectually or emotionally.
