I went to see this movie with my little brother, and a little bit into it I realized something: this movie is for kids. Now don't get me wrong, there are some excellent kids movies, but it seems like Disney was so worried about the demographic of children there that they dumbed it down for them. A lot of the voice overs almost sounded like they were talking down to the audience as if it was all supposed to be for kids. I thought it would be better because George Lopez was one of the voice overs, and I really like him as a comedian. However, it wasn't that great.
With that being said, I don't know if I'd say I totally hated it. There were some funny moments in it. There were two characters in particular that were actually funny and they were an iguana and a rat. I noticed that one of those characters was voiced by Cheech Marin who everyone will recognize. As I mentioned above, George Lopez was in it, and I must say he did have some funny lines also. I actually think the worst voice actor in this movie was Drew Barrymore, I just think she should stay out of voice acting and stick with live action movies, because she really didn't do it for me.
I do realize that voice acting is kind of a weird thing to be judging, and I usually never notice it, but a lot of the voices-the beginning in particular-just felt like they were talking down to me like I was a little kid. I felt like some all-star cast was trying to read a bed-time story to my little sister.
So overall, it had some funny moments, but it was kind of forgettable. I probably won't see it again unless I can catch it on Disney Channel one day. I would say don't waste your money, but if you just want to see a movie to watch with your kids and make them entertained for an hour and a half, go ahead and see it.
