Fantastic movie. Great fun.

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2006)

Lately, I have avoided the spate of CGI films featuring anthropomorphized animals (Madagascar, Ice Age 2, etc.) Most of them go after cheap laughs and sentimentality, which I guess is okay for the kids but I want something a bit more.
This movie delivers. The musical numbers are great fun, there are some exciting action (!) scenes, and the themes of ecological responsibility and self-realization are sophisticated enough for adults to appreciate.
It's well paced and the quality of the CGI animation is superb. I highly recommend this film - you'll leave the theatre with a smile and your toes tapping.
