Epic Tails review – ancient Greece animated caper with some ungodly performances

In ancient Greece, an enthusiastic mouse named Pattie (voiced by Kaycie Chase) dreams of adventures and glory to match those of her hero, Jason. In his youth, Jason brought peace and prosperity home to his town along with the Golden Fleece. But now Jason is old, the gods are fractious and the fate of the community rests on Pattie, a stagestruck cat and a tone-deaf amputee seagull. The decent quality of the animation of this English-language French production is rather let down by some shockingly poor voice performances and a couple of ear-bleeding musical numbers.
