A great flick that will entertain all ages

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2011)

This is a nice break from the somewhat preachy trend Disney has been having. I like the way things like school, family and friends are presented in a way that shows being nice can be more fun than being mean.
Along the way, there are jokes at many levels -- like some of the older cartoons -- so the kids will laugh at some, and the adults will smile at each other at the "in" jokes for grown-ups.
Disney has a long history of putting talent into movies that we wouldn't normally expect to work well together, and making it work. I was pleasantly surprised at Spade's adaptability in the role, and glad to see that old darling Eartha Kitt still getting work. (Mrrowww!)
