Don't panic parents, this is actually funny for you too.

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2010)

A clever raccoon decides to hoodwink various other woodland creatures to help him repay a debt. Meanwhile the local humans are making life tough for the animals...
Another Madagascar style easy target film, although this one is better made, and even though they opted to fill the cast with "names" they do a pretty good job.
The various creatures are all pretty cute and cuddly in the standard way but they all have a chance to show their true colours and character development is well handled. Being a pro-animal film there are a large number of digs at humans, especially our consumer tendencies and a lack of understanding of the real world.
I must admit I had low expectations with this one but it was surprisingly easy to watch and there were even a couple of highlights at the tail end of the film that left me actually looking forward to seeing this again.
What you hope kids will learn: Everyone needs to learn to co-exist, mainly humans.
What they'll take away: That squirrel is car-azy!
