Two by Two review – Noah’s ark animation is a washout

This uber-bland digimation, with Chris Evans as a talking hermit crab, borrows heavily from Finding Nemo

The disproportionate success of DreamWorks’s Home suggests parents are becoming increasingly desperate for two hours of relative calm at the weekend. You’d need to be a fool to shell out £30-odd for everyone to experience this uber-bland German digimation: it’s little more than colours and shapes on a screen. The workable idea of doing Noah’s story from the animals’ point of view is underdeveloped in this redub, which borrows heavily from Finding Nemo for its character design and low-watt separation narrative, while treating us to Chris Evans – and not even the Avengers one – as a talking hermit crab. Ready the bargain bins.
