Better than Madagascar and Shark Tale, but no way as good as Shrek.

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2006)

This is a very entertaining film, and very clever, even if it is a little over the top. As the title says, it is much better than the crap Shark Tale and the dull Madagascar, but it is good in its own way. It has more laughs than Madagascar and Shark Tale, like the part when Hammy gets hyper on the caffeine drink and turns the illegal trap to bear is hilarious, and also right at the start when RJ is trying to steal the food from the bear is pretty funny as well.
There is about one laugh every five to ten minutes (which is better than Shark Tale and Madagascar, where there were no laughs at all; a waste of my precious money!), but it is no way as good as the marvellous Shrek films, where a laugh is guaranteed in every scene.
The only negative things to say abut this film are that Verne is an annoying animal at the beginning, but he loosens up at the end, and that Heather and her father were pretty pointless. I'm so glad that this film wasn't an hour and a half, because it is fine the way it is.
Tha animation is a lot like the animation in Madagascar, but it looks more believable.
I give this 8/10
