Lame scatalogical gags and worn pop-culture parodies abound, but the CGI animation romp is somewhat redeemed by the scene-stealing appearances of several supporting characters. Full Review
Doesn't really live up to the promise that the idea and voice talent deserve. But it's still spirited, amiable, featherweight summer fun. Full Review
Highly recommended for kids and adults. Full Review
Feels as if it has been created from an animator's template. Full Review
It'll be fun for the smaller kids, but there's not much crossover appeal for their parents. Full Review
Pleasant, if mediocre family fare. Full Review
Runs out of gas. Full Review
