Great Family Film!

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2005)

I went into this movie with some very low expectations. After hating Shark Tale last year I was sure this would be along the same vein. Surprisingly the movie is FUN! Kids will love it, adults will laugh, and the creatures are likable to all. If you are a fan of Ben Stiller's comedies you'll probably enjoy this movie. Chris Rock is more subdued than previous films and didn't distract me as much as I thought he would. I giggled with delight the entire film and the songs stuck in my head for days afterwords. The animation is simpler than a Pixar film but the colors are extremely bright and rivet the eyes to the screen. Best of all, there isn't any bad romantic story to watch - it's all about the animals goofing off! If you want some clean humor and a good times at the movies this is the summer movie to see!
