About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light animated comedy with a scam-gone-wrong setup, fast-moving adventure, and playful dialogue, similar to Minions: The Rise of Gru or The Road to El Dorado; Not for you if you need a faithful book adaptation.
Pros: fun family adventure; witty dialogue; teamwork and loyalty | Cons: uneven adaptation choices; missing plot threads; annoying narration
