If you are over the age of 2, I do not suggest going to this movie, unless your kids force you under knife and gun. After many successful animated movies for the ENTIRE family, which include Hoodwinked, Shrek, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Shark Tale, and even Monsters INC., this falls short of "Family Friendly". This is the type of movie that should go straight to DVD and be bought by families with 2 and 3 year olds to watch when they have a baby sitter. It clearly falls under the same league as Sesame Street and *gasp* Barney.
I went with my family, and we only watched 15 minutes of it before changing our plans and seeing Firewall. Luckily, the manager had no problem if we had watched under 30 minutes of the movie. Within the 15 minutes I saw, there was bad animation (comparable to Casper's Haunted Christmas and other straight to DVD movies) and horrible jokes. It is the kind of movie where there is laughter from 2 year olds because the cow was singing opera (which hurt my eardrums) and a wagon flying around.
If you plan on seeing this movie, be sure to bring some earplugs and a sleeping pill to take a nice 1 and a half hour nap, if you can sleep through the laughter of the 2 year olds. Do something for yourself and hire a babysitter to take your children, but be sure to pay them extra.
