Crammed to the Brim with Fun

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2014)

Faster then a speeding bullet fly the jokes in this delightful movie sure to entertain the current crop of attention deficit kids. The all-star voice cast is spot on, the animation is bright and colourful and the surprises are plenty. Standouts in the voice cast include Liam Neeson's multiple personality cop and Cris Pratt's Emmett though there are really no weaknesses here. Maybe most amazing for a movie based off of a successful line of toys, the story is competently told. It moves at an engaging pace and is interesting enough to keep even the adults watching. Nothing at all wrong here except a side quibble about the marketing for the movie. A lot of the movies best jokes were already divulged in the trailers for the film.
