Sorry if there is another review about this.

I took my little brother to go see today because it was either this or "Zoom..." yeah. ha-ha.

I wasn't expecting much when I went in which in way, considering what I'd seen in the previews, was a good thing. I've found for the recent animated films like this and Doogal and Hoodwinked is that if you watch them with rock-bottom expectations, they'll always seem better.

At least in this case. This is definitely for the young(er) audience. I mean, I know animation should be for a young audience anyway, but this is really just for kids ages 3-7.

The were some dumb mistakes in this. The Bull's don't have horns and have udders! How ridiculous is that?! lol.

Some things in this may not be appropriate for small babies. Like, in a song they sing it says "h*ll" in it and they talk about this cow giving birth at the end and say things that, while it wasn't explicit at all, it just didn't seem like something that should've been in a kids movie.

Overall, this wasn't a very good movie. It was a good way to waste some time and spend time with my brother, and it wasn't hard to sit through, it just wasn't very entertaining.

** out of *****

I took my five boys to see this and they loved it. They saw it as pure entertainment. Something fun. I went wishing the same thing, and isn't that the whole purpose of our chosen field?To entertain.Steve Odekerk did what he did in Kung Pow Enter the Fist, make fun and make his interpretation fun. I enjoyed it on that level.
