The movie passed the Justine test.

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2006)

The movie was well done and actually treats its younger audiences with intelligence-offering twists, the opportunity to think about the consequences of their actions as well as their governments, etc. The movie is close to the live-action March of the Penguins and therefore some parts give you the fell of déjà vu. I say that it passed the Justine test as my daughter is four and cannot stay put in a theatre for more than 20 minutes at a time. Movies like Garfield's were not interesting enough to keep her down for long. She even developed a case of Happy Feet walking out of the theatre. I would comment that the musical references are too difficult for some audience members to grasp as well as some musical numbers had to many singers singing at the same time, therefore making it hard for this age group to understand the words. Rather than coming out as well-tuned song, it turned into static sound.
