It wasn't what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2007)

I saw all the previews and I expected a funny, creative animation. What I got was a slow, unfunny movie. Yes, the animation was out of this world but I left the movie feeling like it was a waste of money to see in the theater. I went to this movie for a funny pick-me-up movie...it didn't achieve that for me. I wish I would have waited until it came out on video and I definitely won't own it...like I do the other Pixar movies...even the into short fill wasn't supper funny but it was much better than the full length movie! I definitely think that the story line is too far above a child's thinking, but the cuteness of the rats will appeal to them. The adults will understand the story line but not see any humor in the story. I think I laughed once or twice...and that was at the end. The beginning is VERY slow and I heard lots of kids getting restless in the theater...maybe wait till you can watch it at home before you take young kids...and it will save you a lot of money because, in my opinion, this isn't worth seeing in the theater
