Great for the kids, entertaining for the parents

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2002)

I saw it opening night with one of my kids, then again two days later with the other. Both of them loved it, and my wife and I laughed throughout it. The story isn't unique, but it's well-told, with lots of jokes that connected with the kids, the parents, and often both.
Visually, the animation was amazingly detailed; there were lots of nice touches such as the wisps of breath shown when they entered the ice cave.
If this movie strikes you as sounding interesting, go see it. It's worth the money.
If you have kids under 4, perhaps wait to see it at home. Although most of the kids enjoyed it greatly, one thing common to both showings I attended was that very young kids grew restless...
