I was really quite looking forward to this. A sort of grown up "Wallace and Gromit" set amongst the cutthroat Estonian dairy industry. Sadly, though, after quite a strong and explosive opening twenty minutes, it all degenerates into a rather unfunny, puerile even, series of escapades from Grandpa and two of his grandchildren who are in search of their escaped cow. Now, if you don't milk a cow every morning then there is the risk that it's udder will swell to bursting point - and that's when we get the dreaded "lactopalypse" - and nobody wants that. On their quest through the forest to retrieve their animal they encounter some hippies having a festival (looks like it's being compered by Uma Thurman), a randy tree god and the hungriest bear in the land - but can they get a-milking in time? Added to their challenge is the fact that the previous milker - who could not avert an earlier catastrophe - is in hot pursuit with his gang of chainsaw-wielding labourers hell bent on decapitating the evil beast. There are some fun, earthy, touches to the humour and the vodka-charged tractor might just save the day raises a smile, but I found the rest of it a bit repetitive. The ending takes far too long and is, I thought, just a bit tacky. It has a sort of smut to it that might have been funny in the 1960s or 1970s but now, it's just a little cringemaking. The animation is good though - reminded me a bit of Tony Hart's "Morph", and the story certainly doesn't hang about so I'd definitely recommend that you give it a go - I was just a bit disappointed.
