    I want to like it so much, but it wasn't funny and its computer animation let me down and it had a hit and miss premise that let me down and the voice performances were boring. I give this movie 27%.

    This movie was really awful. We have movie night every Saturday for the whole family and this doesn't make the grade. We watched about 1/2 of the movie and shut it off based on everyone's vote. Thumbs down.

    Not suitable for children, or really anyone for that matter. With good voice talent, competent animation and a pre-halloween season to play within, this 1.5 hour tour has much going for it, but like Frankenstein's monster, it turns out to be over-sized mess that scares children and horrifies adults. Having received free passes to see it a week in advance, I don't like to be unkind, but having made the mistake of taken young children (ages 2.5 and 4.5) to the movie, I'd like to take this early opportunity to dissuade others from doing the same. But if you like to expose your youth to slapstick without the funny, countless suicide jokes and lowbrow dialogue ranging from name-calling to hate-speech, then who am I to stop you. Those drawn by the voice talents of John Cleese (playing here a mad scientist reminiscent of the schoolteacher from the cover art of Pink Floyd's the Wall) will be gravely disappointed, as Mr. Cleese evidently had the good sense to leave the movie after the first 10 minutes. If only I had been wise enough to do the same.… Expand

    Voices and Music poorly cast and chosen. Found the actors to not hit the right feelings to properly portray the given character. The music in many scenes was distracting and again didn't fit the scene as a whole. At times had to fast forward because I found it so awful.

    With its belabored gags, misfired pop-culture references and garish visuals crammed together like so many disjointed body parts, this manic kidpic cranks up the annoy-o-meter early on and rarely lets up.

    Although the visuals tantalize and the actors providing the voices add a lot of sass, the result is only so-so.

    The visuals are a kick; the groan-inducing dialogue isn't.
