Great CG Intro For Kids
The people who slammed this kids' film were, guess what? bitter adult Star Wars fans who have refused to recognize the saga has moved onto the next generation. This is not a continuation of the live-action films, it is a computer animated interpretation of Tartakovsky's Clone Wars animated series, hence the super stylized faces and character designs. It's a great way to get young children, like my nephew who has never seen a Star Wars movie interested in the idea. Face it people, this is a kids' show and always will be. If you want the darker, more realistic side of the saga, wait for the live-action TV series to come. Relax, and enjoy the lighter side of Star Wars once in a while.

Better than I thought it would be
So, I saw this originally in the theater. I mean, it's Star Wars, you have to experience Star Wars in the theater. I can now say I've seen every movie in said way (going back to '77). I went into it with no preconceived notions about it, only that it was a new Star Wars movie. I never saw a trailer or anything for this. It was something I started when the prequel came out. I wanted to know nothing about the movies before seeing them.
So, ok, this was just an excuse to make a movie. The plot is cellophane thin. I am actually all right with that. The action scenes SCREAM Star Wars, Anakin and the other main characters are fleshed out a little more, and it is all in all good fun. It is geared for a younger audience, but so were all the others.
Ahsoka is great. Even at her tender age, she is able to keep up with the likes of the Chosen One. Yes, there are certain characters that don't necessarily fit in with what most of us see as the Star Wars universe (Rotta, Ziro) but it was necessary for what story line there is.
All in all, I enjoyed watching this and YES I do own this on DVD. I haven't been able to catch the series yet on Cartoon Network, but based on the movie (weak storyline and all), it has potential to expand, in a good way, the Star Wars Universe.

Clone Wars better than you've heard
Star Wars: The CLone Wars is better than you've heard.

The animation is stylish, inventive and something to behold. The characters are fun and the action is exciting. The music is also a new feel for Star Wars, with hints of its roots while branching out into new territory.

Thoroughly enjoyable, for old and new fans alike.
