REVIEW
It’s really not fair judging a children’s story from an adult’s perspective so I wish there was some way to give this movie two ratings.
Children will love it because it has all the requisite elements of a “good” movie: cute animals, simple story, rude body noises, smart-talking animals with an attitude and a nice ending.
Adults on the other hand might not find these enough to give it more than a “ho-hum” rating. Sorry kids.
