Not bad, but not quite up to Shrek standards

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2006)

I am a big lover of the animated movies, but this one suffers the same plight as Madagascar. The story didn't have a feeling of having a purpose. I would be lying if I said this movie didn't have funny parts. The humor, whether subtle or blatant was very funny and tastefully done (ie...this isn't a 90 minute fart joke that never ends). The animation in this movie is also very well done. But the bad part is the overall story. While in small chunks, the individual scenes are great, but it just didn't feel like an story was being told.
I think this movie would be great for a child 8-12. For an adult, it is a nice diversion if you catch it on cable, but I would save my money for other movies.
