It's hard to think of a recent family cartoon as crass and inept as Sir Sean Connery's swansong (he's now retired). Connery heads the vocal cast as titular Sir Billi, a supposedly adorable grandpa and Scottish laird who, with the help of his incontinent goat pal (Alan Cumming), tries to keep a feisty beaver out of the hands of an obsessive cop. The plot is tortuous, but it's the hideous CGI and wannabe sophisticated jokes that cause the greatest pain. Homegrown hogwash, best left on the shelf.
