Yet more Disney formula

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2000)

I don't know why critics liked this movie so much. If you've seen Toy Story, Tarzan, A Bug's Life or any other Disney movie, you've seen them all already. What more is there to say? We get the usual hero experiences crisis, hero undergoes a touching journey in which he makes crucial life choices, hero makes the choice that the audience wants him to make, and we get the "Awwww, a happy ending" kind of ending. Of course, since this is Disney, we have to throw in all the comic sidekicks.
If you're stuck seeing a kid's movie, I would recommend Stuart Little instead -- at least it has a different concept with a computer animated mouse interacting with live humans, and the computer animation is miles better than Toy Story 2's rather dated animation.
