The voices of the late Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi reading from the text isn't quite the same. But Garcia compensates with a different animation style for each of the five stories.

Poe's creepy, unevenly adapted tales aren't for young kids.

Poe's storytelling gift is so timeless, and the voice actors assembled so captivating, that "Extraordinary Tales" can't help but work on some level. It just never quite rises above that faint praise.

The fact that an author who died 166 years ago continues to be a draw for moviemakers says something about Edgar Allan Poe's imagination. And here's a feverish new animated Poe feature -- released just in time for Halloween.

For me The Tell-Tale Heart was really the only short I loved. The rest had major flaws that took me away from the film.

"Extraordinary Tales" reminds viewers that animation can enable an artist to realize an individual vision, even on a limited budget.

Five stories by Edgar Allan Poe get varied treatment in this striking but inert animated compendium.
