Synopsis: Lt. "Maverick" Mitchell - a slightly maniac F-14 pilot - and his RIO Lt. "Goose" Bradshaw have been accepted into the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School - more commonly known as "Top Gun". There they will learn the finer arts of aerial dogfighting. That is, if they don't get thrown out due to Maverick's behaviour. And the competition is hard, Top Gun accepts only the best pilots to begin with.
My Opinion: This movie has incredible flying scenes even after all these years. No crappy CGI but real planes flying in real air. And a great soundtrack, too. Ironically I haven't seen that movie that often but I seem to know it by heart due to the many parodies on many scenes of that movie. And while I recognized Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli in Heroes) at once, it took me a while to recognize Goose as Dr. Greene from ER. Too bad, that there aren't more good airplane combat movies out there.

My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this movie and think it worked well as an animated movie. The animation was very well done and full of bright vibrant colors making it look like the book came to life. I did think the voices were done well and fit the characters. Jim Carrey didn't seem to go as overboard as he has with some of his previous movies. There were a few scenes that dragged just a bit..probably because some things had to be added to the original story to make it long enough for a movie.
I agree with Pete, the Ambasador's daughter running amuck type of thing has been done a lot. They did a good job with it though. Making it a two parted probably helped.
This episode was a bit different as it didn't have Fraser and Ray working together. I have to say I missed the interaction. Not much with the wolf either, although it was funny at the beginning when Diefenbaker knew Frasers ideas of what to do were lame.
