Not so good movie as I expected

I didn't ear nothing about this movie until I saw it in the cinemas and for the rating I saw here I really expected a much better movie. Can't deny the excellent quality of the animation, I really enjoyed to see such a good work, but the story wasn't really so good. The movie is funny sometimes, it made me smile a few times and I think my kids liked it, but I've seen much better animated movies with not so good animation but with a much better story. It's good to see other productions not only from Hollywood but please, don't try to make us think that just a well done animation can make a good movie. Maybe next time.

Movie worth a watch

This movie is not worth the 1 & 2 star ratings. It is not one of the best animated movies, but I have seen worse.

The animation is really good. There's some interesting character designs and beautiful environments.

There's some funny bits across the movie (not the farting jokes! - it was so overused) & the drama is a little over the top at times, but overall it is just a fun movie.

Not even fit for a kids movie.

I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie in a cinema. I watch loads of movies and saying this means a lot from me. I'm extremely dismissive of movie mistakes and plot-holes, but this, oh boy. It's loud, it's obnoxious, it has scenes that go on for too long. This movie has no plot, no structure no nothing. Yes, I understand this is a kids movie, but at least have the movie make sense. In fact, the movie is so terrible, in the first 30 minutes or so I left because I couldn't stand it anymore.

TL;DR, don't go to see this movie, not even with your children, they will most likely not like it either.
