Megamind - Channel 4

Will Ferrell voices the title character of this megagreat animation

Will Ferrell voices the title character of this megagreat animation.

DreamWorks' superhero spoof movie has it all - splendid, deliciously bright, clever and colourful animation, a smashing story, lots of laughs in its witty dialogue, exciting action, terrific characters and great vocal performances.

Ferrell is little short of brilliant as the blue, bald, beautifully caped - and very bored - alien super-villain Megamind. Tina Fey is super as a TV reporter and girl-in-peril who ends up in Megamind's lair and Brad Pitt's worth his weight in gold as the heroic, music-making Metro Man who's Megamind's defeated nemesis. Jonah Hill adds a layer of extra fun as TV cameraman Hal, who becomes a third super-being called Titan, as does David Cross as Megamind's fishy sidekick Minion.

Great fun for the whole family.
