" An entertaining animated film featuring the" laid Romeo and Juliet " fabric into the milieu of two bourgeois gardens. Sexy playful doubled thanks to the artificiality of the subject, many good ideas and the coherent 3D technology, the military conflict, which torpedoed the happiness of love, trivialized child-friendly and not questioned.
