Sadly, this movie is a mess.

Rating: 3/10 (27 July 2016)

Just because it's a cartoon with vivid colors and non-human characters doesn't necessarily make this something for kids. There are many LOL moments but these are undercut and ultimately sabotaged by large swathes of unfunny scenes punctuated by unpleasant (and unnecessarily nasty) dialogue, images and themes. They dragged down the entire effort. Our expectations, based on the amusing but highly selective individual scenes-out-of-context preview(s), were profoundly betrayed by the committee that put this together. Clearly everyone was not on the same page and that's too bad because wiser heads whose vanity was set aside could have made the end result so much better.
