Movies like this are why kids today are becoming idiotic couch potatoes

Rating: 1/10 (2 February 2015)

I think I was in grade 2 when this movie came out, I remember because I fell asleep in the theater. My friends and I all hated it and thought it was stupid. It had annoying soundtrack, characters that were all weird in an annoying way, repeated dance scenes of animals shaking their butts, god knows why, and that toilet humor that only the "lowest common denominator" finds funny. There was a lion getting high while the "Candyman" song played in the background, really strange. There were racial stereotypes that you'd think cinema would be past in this day and age. The only thing I remember as being remotely funny were the penguins! And they were only minor characters! The movie was filled with that typical "fail humor" (things getting hurt for the audience's amusement). It's just pathetic, honestly. I don't get it even now, was this movie supposed to be so moronic or was it an accident? What's even more unbelievable is that a sequel and television show were added to this load of crud. I never wanted to have kids anyway, but if I did have kids I wouldn't ever expose them to this kind of thing! Try something like Spirited Away, Monster's Inc. or Lilo & Stitch if you want to show your kids some animation actually worth watching.
