About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, funny family adventure about rivalry turning into friendship, with plenty of heart like Up or Finding Nemo; Not for you if you dislike mild peril or older-looking animation.

Pros: heartfelt friendship story; funny for all ages; memorable characters | Cons: animation shows its age; some over-the-top moments
