About
You may enjoy this if you want a simple, kid-focused animal adventure with a father-and-child theme, but Not for you if you’re tired of familiar plots or want sharper laughs like Madagascar or Finding Nemo.
Pros: a few cute moments; some heart; short runtime | Cons: unoriginal story; weak humor; off-putting animation
