POSITIVES…
While just loosely inspired by the true story, it overall has its heart in the right place with it’s themes and messages that are worth embracing from a young age.
CGI animals are well animated enough to not get too distracted.
Fantastic voice cast, from Sam Rockwell, Danny DeVito, to Brooklynn Prince.
Bob the Dog. Scene stealer. Entertainer. One of the reasons to see this movie.
I unashamedly laughed at the jokes that were clearly targeted for kids.
Appreciated the restraint the narrative had of not telling us a story that is too over-the-top. The straightforward simplicity works for this story.
Going into this movie without much knowledge of what to expect, I was surprised at how emotionally it was. Depressing even. As a fan of animals in general, this film got me to tear up.
NEGATIVES…
Probably two slow; and sad, for kids to fully be entertained.
Not exactly the most dynamic and energetic movie around.
Those familiar with the true story will be annoyed that this movie is unsurprisingly Disneyfied and sanitized from the truth.
P.S….
