MY kids LOVED this movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2006)

I took my two year old and my four year old to see this movie this week and they both absolutely loved it. My little girl was dancing along to the songs in front of her seat the whole movie long! Neither one of them were scared at all. They both have seen some animal shows on Animal Planet and Discovery so I didn't worry too much about any scenes with Leopard Seals or Killer Whales. They both know that sometimes animals have to hunt other animals to survive. I explained that to them when they were asking why their chicken at dinner had the same name as the animals on the farm. Not that any of the penguins get eaten anyway. Yes, there was an environmental message but I personally thought it was done so that the younger kids wouldn't understand all of the undertones. My son (the older of the two) asked if it was still OK to eat Fish and I told him that it was as long as we didn't eat ALL the fish. He was happy with that answer. As for the religious aspect, they didn't even get that at all from it. It went right over their heads. I got it, being an adult, but if anything I think it was more of a "Don't blindly blame everything on God" message more than an anti-religion message. I think it was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Better than Cars even and that was our current fave around here. The animation was simply AWESOME! The soundtrack will be coming home on our next trip to the store. I loved Boogie Wonderland! Anything this cute that makes my kids dance and sing is good in my book.
