About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bright, zany family musical with an in-your-face environmental message and lots of jokes; Not for you if you dislike preachy morals, filler, or constant songs like in Despicable Me.
Pros: bright colorful world; catchy musical numbers; positive eco message | Cons: heavy-handed moralizing; padded, noisy story; uneven humor
