A harmless, pleasant and kid-friendly film. It's refreshing to see a live action family film which is something very rare these days.

A cheerful and fun adventure for younger kids, the film keeps its focus tight and succeeds at everything it needs to.

This is not as advertised at all. They laid English speaking voices over the film that was filmed in another language. Its REaLLy bad. Really bad.

This is a great kids' film, I fully advise watching it as a family. The story is quirky and a bit odd, but in a good way, making it fun and enjoyable. The poor dubbing is the only serious flaw to this otherwise great foreign film. Adults might not be the most enjoyed by it, but it is made for children and does a great job keeping the story simple enough for them to watch and enjoy. The talking animals are great and bring lots of great laughs to the story.
