Please!  Why is all this stuff included in a movie review?  I don't
care who was the production designer, visual effects superviser, or who
wrote the score.  In those cases where such items make or break a film,
say so, but otherwise don't include each and every person associated
with the film.

Other than that, I thought this was a good review.

elephants did tease so!"  (Can you recognise the character speaking?)
