Parents who have had to sit through a myriad of mindless kids movies will appreciate a chance for their kids to be themselves at the theater and to be silly right alongside them. On the whole, it can serve as a good introduction to the movie-going experience.

If today's youngsters grow up thinking of Christopher Lloyd as the old guy with the bongos from The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, at least they'll be thinking of Christopher Lloyd at all.

oogieloves is the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I can't believe I've gone so long without seeing it! Movies such as Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption fall short of this beloved classic. I highly recommend this to any human on this planet. What a brilliant work of art.

If the target audience for this film were any younger, they'd be embryos.

Hallie's dad said it was Rocky Horror for toddlers whatever that is. Me and Hallie are 7 and we thought it was for babies.

The whole thing runs about an hour too long: It should have been a TV show. The adventure's too big for the kids who would love it the most.

Will your preschoolers enjoy it? Perhaps. Is it worth 88 minutes of their lives, or yours? Not in a world where "Sesame Street" is on TV every day. Not even in a world where "Sesame Street" didn't exist.

Enduring this brainless kid's film is akin to witnessing the end of the world.

This film is different, and perhaps isn’t for everyone. And that is OK. Great to be able to sing and dance along in a movie theater without being thrown out.This film appeals to young kids: it is short, but they can participate and move along. It is also good because it displays the songs’ lyrics, so even though its not a book, your kids will still be exposed to letters and words.

Anyone who gives this movie a positive review has NEVER been near a kid or has been one in their lives, and I would HATE to see how dumb kids would get under their care.

Nothing in this movie is necessarily inappropriate for kids, but at the same time, it's incredibly stupid and offers nothing of real value.
