This film needs to be shown in schools across the country to get children talking about what it means to be mixed race!

I grew up in a small town that is predominately white. I myself am half Chinese and half Swedish. To this day, I still cannot discuss being mixed with anyone in my home town, including my parents. It is a heavily discriminated group of people here, to the point that more people will discuss black power than Asian-American and ESPECIALLY MIXED people of color in our community. Nobody is accepting of me, on either side. I'm not chinese enough, not white enough. I don't get to be a part of either culture, which is a topic not fully discussed in this film.

This film doesn't tell the whole story for all of us, but it does point a spot light in an area that deserves some growth. I will do my best to share this film with people to get some sort of understanding from those around me, and I wish anyone reading this will do the same. We are all people, our stories matter.

I want to start by saying; be cautious with the things you loved as a child, because your life is different now and your taste may develop or change. So if you loved this movie as a kid, probably best to leave this as a memory.

This movie was great in my memory! I remember having this one on the clam-shell VHS Tape and I would constantly ask my mom to play it over and over! Even prior to watching it, I was expecting some of that wow and magic I remembered from my childhood, but it was missing.

I still loved some of the set pieces they designed, but ultimately for my current pallet this movie was lacking a true story or meaning. It does carry some nice visuals and the music is very reminiscent of the classic Tom & Jerry Show.

My review is primarily for parents; great fun for your kids to watch, but not a great one to watch with them. They also won't get any lesson or moral take away from this. It's just a good old fashion slapstick, that drives on for 60 minutes.
