Featured review
This movie set the bar at a new level for animation. This is a great companion piece to "March of the Penguins". (In fact, you should see "March of the Penguins" before seeing this one.) While the stock animated movie script still seems be 'cute-yet-quirky animals on quest', this one pulls it off better than most.
Arguably, the film makers tried to cram too many songs into the soundtrack. And the story didn't need to be as long as it was but the overall environmental message was good.
In the end, you'll look how the choices of our 'modern' lifestyles affect the rest of the world.
This movie is definitely worth the watch -- and a discussion with your kids afterward.
