don not understand how these animated movie keep come out and and no matter how good ( or bad ) it be people love it . i saw this movie with my two kid ( 5 and 7 ) . they like pretty much anything animate ( like most people who rat this film ) . the theater be almost full and and i look forward to see the movie with it superb cast . to tell the truth i be bore silly . it be unbelievably predictable and just plain unfunny . there be a couple chuckle throughout the film and that be it . of course they try time and time again to get the cheap laugh and but just do not work . my son almost always say to me that he want the dvd after we see an animated movie and but not on this one . my daughter fell asleep half way through . also and the kid think the character animation look weird . i haven not hear that from them since see the polar express and which give my daughter nightmare . trust me and i be not the type who look for the negative in everything . but quality be quality and and like so many animate movie they throw out there and it have very little .
