Review

I went into this movie really with no expectations. I had only seen a few fragments of commercials and got nothing at all interesting from them. So WOW was I surprised and impressed when I saw it!! The movie was a creative story quick moving action funny heartwarming visually interesting and sometimes surprising this film had a lot of great things going on and I found myself really engaged and far more interested in the characters than I would have guessed. Sure there were a few Ȫs if" moments but for the most part I found it to be fun funny and a film I heartily recommend! Kudos to the writers voice actors and animators.... With a youngster in my home I'm sure we'll be seeing this again soon.
