My Life as McDull (2001)
Reviewed by: Stardust on 2002-05-07
Summary: Impressive
I usually don't watch animated movies, but I gotta say I'm impressed with this one. A story about a not-so-bright pig with his own struggles and his mom who is trying to make ends meet while providing unconditional love. The general story is a coming-of-age tale about McDull and leads up to his life as an adult. The bond between him and his mom is clearly expressed and quite realistic.

Some comedic moments, some bitter-sweet moments. The mom's wacky personality generates many laughs, and McDull is as adorable and innocent as ever. However, after a while, the laughs die and the movie tends to drag. For younger children, the movie may be too long and at times a little deep when McDull gets philosophical.

Rating: 8/10
