Retour au bercail

Flicking through Netflix you might see this movie and dismiss it as a cheap, low effort, low quality kids cartoon, but I would actually recommend giving it a try.

The cast is star studded, the music is brilliant, the animation is stylised but very good.

Well worth the 90minutes.

Not a big-budget animated masterpiece, but something you can learn from and enjoy. I watched this with 2 kids aged 7 and 9 and they keep talking about it, the facts they learned and what they already knew, how the title says 'back' twice, and how we're all beautiful. They actually laughed out loud, were surprised by some parts, and stuck till the end. To me, this movie was a reminder of Steve Irwin and the glory days of National Geographic. It may not be great for extremely tiny kids, but it's a fun watch for everybody else.

It is an entertaining movie, sweet yet with modern irony, every character get's a shot, everybody can be a hero. Nice happy end. I am 51 and it cheered me up after a bad day.

This is such an interesting movie. I love the characters very much, my favorite character is Maddie the snake, she's just so cute and beautiful. Some animated movies like this are not as perfect as Disney, but this animated film, may have this well-worn silly humor, but the characters won me over a lot. I hope that there will be a sequel.

I overheard this film while my kids were watching it and just by momentarily listening to the dialogue it started to catch my attention. I ended up watching the whole movie while my 2 little ones fell asleep haha! A little embarrassing maybe, but I actually really enjoyed this movie. Yeah, there are some 2nd-rate corny lines here and there added with a few cliches, but overall it's quite a lovely film. In my children's animated films opinion, it's no Toy Story classic, but definitely more enjoyable than Frozen 2. I don't know why; something about the story really had me hooked :) You'll have to watch it for yourself!
