About

You may enjoy this if you want a light, message-driven animated adventure with broad humor and a fish-out-of-water city detour, like Yogi Bear or Tom & Jerry; Not for you if you dislike potty jokes, cheap-looking animation, or very predictable plots.

Pros: clear environmental message; simple kid-friendly setup; some action moments | Cons: weak jokes; predictable story; annoying sidekicks
