A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures (2010) User Reviews

Works in 2-D too

[kosmasp · 6/10 · 5 December 2011]

I only watched in 2-D (the cinema was only showing it that way). It was mostly filled with the target audience (kids), but even as an adult you can enjoy the movie. There is of course an underlying message "hidden" in the movie, bit it never is too heavy. So there is no danger of the movie being too preachy (something another movie did and therefor failed in my opinion, to be a better movie).

You have to have a soft spot for animals (even if animated) of course to like this. Or you just take your kids/nephews to see it and you won't be disappointed. The animation and voice work are decent enough (don't expect Pixar quality), too.

Somewhat Like A Greenpeace Message

[changmoh · 6/10 · 6 October 2010]

If "Sammy's Adventures" seems rather predictable and dull, it is probably because Belgian director Ben Stassen seems so carried away by its anti-pollution and environmental messages that he misses out on the plot and the action. However, the visuals in this underwater opus are top-notch (especially in 3D) and way better than Stassen's last effort "Fly Me To The Moon".

I also like the way Stassen tells the story from a turtle's eye view - which will go a long way in educating children on undersea life and protecting those creatures and our ecology. The movie is about a green sea turtle who is hatched in 1959 and spends the next 50 years travelling the world while it is being changed by relentless whale and shark fishing, pollution and global warming. Hours after being hatched, Sammy (voice of Yuri Lowenthal) finds and loses the love of his life, a pretty hatchling called Shelly (Isabelle Fuhrman of Orphan fame).

On the epic journey across the oceans that all turtles must accomplish before returning to the beach where they were born, Sammy dodges every danger in the hope of meeting Shelly again. On the way, he also has encounters with humans, both good and bad, as well as toothy sharks and piranhas.

It is easy to root for Sammy and his pals not only because they are cute but also because they are sporting and gutsy. With its story spanning over 50 years, Stassen marks the milestone periods with human events (like the hippies of the Sixties and the Greenpeace protests) and with classic songs on the soundtrack. Of course, the Beatles are represented with their hit, 'Across The Universe' (what else?).

On the downside, character development seems to be at a minimum for some - and the 3D thrills (read action and stunts) are nowhere as impressive as those of "Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole". Indeed, from the numerous death-defying scraps that Sammy escapes from, we wonder how he can have such an 'enchanted' life indeed if not for far-fetched plotting. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining sea-world documentary for the kids. - LIM CHANG MOH (limchangmoh.blogspot.com)

Wonderful 3D and characterizations

[modgirl-3 · 7/10 · 20 May 2012]

I have a 3D TV and this is my first online purchase. I love movies about animals, but I don't love movies where humans are demonized. To the credit of the movie, some were not. The animals were adorable, the 3D graphics were incredible and it was a lovely story over all.

The part that bothered me was the humans being the bad guys. Yes, we do stupid things. But when Sammy's best friend eats jelly fish, they didn't focus on the peril it put the jelly fish's family under. Or when the shark was trying to eat them, they just took it for granted it was nature's way.

Nature has given us a bit more skills than found in nature and we can do things that look a lot ickier when taken out of context. But on the same vein we have Fluffy, trying to keep his humans, Vera, saving her fellow turtles, and other humans helping save the wildlife they endanger.

Look at the overall story and you see that it all comes together. We are not evil, just misguided. Put the beautiful graphics with the lovely animal characters and enjoy the movie for the beauty of it and try to pretend they aren't crucifying humans. We aren't all like that. Not even close.

The last 10 minutes made it all worth while. I cried. I don't cry. To acknowledge nature needs humans to help them survive made the movie complete. For some reason, I have deep need to love a turtle right now. :-)

Okay

[tgal728 · 6/10 · 15 July 2012]

My 5 year old wanted to watch this movie. She spent much of the movie crying. Most kids movies have some type of obstacle for the main character to overcome and then they come out on top. Sammy encounters more obstacles than most. The majority of this movie is just one sad, scary thing happening after another (difficult for some children to deal with). I thought the graphics were great even though I didn't watch the 3D version. I think the movie was okay, but it dragged quite a bit. It's not one of those movies that my child will want to watch again and again and again. If you're looking for a completely light and happy children's movie to watch you may want to look elsewhere.

Rather enjoyable and impressive...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 3 February 2022]

I sat down in 2022 to watch the 2010 animated movie "Sammy's Adventures" with my 11 year old son. Sure, I hadn't even heard about this animated movie prior to sitting down to watch it. But I have to say that the movie's cover was actually not all that bad.

And the storyline told in "Sammy's Adventures", as written by Ben Stassen and Domonic Paris, was actually rather good. Both my son and I were enjoying the movie from start to end. So it was a wholesome animated movie with something for the entire family.

Visually then I found "Sammy's Adventures" to be rather impressive. The entire movie was full of vibrant colors and nicely drawn images, with great textures and lots of character and spirit to everything. The characters were also nicely drawn and quite likeable.

Now what really impressed me about "Sammy's Adventures" was the voice cast. Wow. Just wow. It had the likes of Tim Curry, Ed Begley Jr., Stacy Keach, Pat Carroll, Anthony Anderson, Kathy Griffin, Melanie Griffith and Melanie Griffith on the list. So there are some great name and recognizable voices here.

"Sammy's Adventures" proved to be as impressive as it was enjoyable, and I was genuinely entertained by the movie. As such, my rating of the 2010 animated movie "Sammy's Adventures" lands on a six out of ten stars.

decent cartoon

[v-56289 · 7/10 · 23 March 2020]

I liked the eco-friendly aspect... that kids will have the feeling to protect nature, including oceans.. However the story could have been better.. It's kind of Finding Nemo-like journey, but less funny, less amusing.. Also I liked the music...

One of the better movies for kids

[blumdeluxe · 6/10 · 2 May 2019]

"Sammy's avonturen: De geheime doorgang" tells the story of the turtle Sammy, who has a hard time adopting to the life in the ocean but is carried by the love for a very special turtle. When he finally meets her, everything seems perfect until unforeseen events separate them again and start a chase that seems hopeless at times.

I like this film because it combines good characters and entertainment with a positive message and some love for mother nature. You can see that it is not a major production and it is lacking the underlying humor of films like "Finding Nemo", but I'm sure kids will have their fun with this film anyway and you can clearly see that the producers put quite a lot of heart in this. As most kid's movies, it's not entirely plausible, but that shouldn't be what it's judged for.

All in all I think this is a nice addition in the kids movie sector, not a game changer but a nice little film that will raise awareness under children and empower them through a beautiful message.

A decent school holiday movie for the kids, but remember to go for the 3D version

[moviexclusive · 5/10 · 13 December 2010]

What is the most effective way to make a person feel guilty for being part of the human race? Try making him or her sit through a movie about a cute-looking, adorable-sounding baby sea turtle who struggles to survive against environmentally unfriendly human activity. Swimming through his adventures in the open ocean, Sammy has as much fun as an undertaker on his first day of work. As if contending against natural predators isn't bad enough, he has to dodge plastic litter, trawl fishing nets, illegal dump and oil spills, with only his fragile little shell on his back.

Though the praiseworthy green message behind the movie is no less deserving of being explored on the big screen, its delivery is all quite off-putting. For one thing, Sammy's Adventures is presented like a kids' picture book on sea turtles facts – too direct and simple with only a watered-down plot regarding a turtle's desire to see the world to hang onto. Think: this is how sea turtles look like and this is what they eat, this is where they go when they're swimming around in the ocean, this is what they have to go through to survive and this is what we as people, need to do to help them. In fact, at the end of the movie, after going through all of the terrible events of his life, Sammy literally tells us, almost word for word that 'humans should be more environmentally-conscious and that sea turtles need their help to survive, now, more than ever.'

Granted, the makers are probably trying to reach out to young audiences with its simple language and story – the target group of this type of genre, but it sounds just a tad too preachy for the rest of us. On a whole, it just lacks the charm and humour that both children and non- children alike, would look forward to in an animated cartoon. They do try to inject some light-heartedness with the funny sidekick character of Sammy's best friend as voiced by Anthony Anderson. If you think he sounds like that black computer hacker genius guy who was taken in by the secret service for looking at the thumbdrive with the secret information in it, then you are right – it is him.

To be fair, it's not by Disney Pixar, but the look of the movie is decently entertaining for anyone of any age. And, we have to most probably thank 3D technology for that. The various fast-motion travelling scenes are enjoyable to sit through because tricking your brain into thinking that your body is moving when it's actually not and having things popping up and flying into your face, is always fun.

Boring with dubious intention

[JayBee2010 · 2/10 · 20 July 2011]

I watched this movie as a Blue-Ray DVD in 3D on television. So far I thought that a movie could not be that bad that stunning 3D effects wouldn't make it fun to watch anyway. At least this was my experience until Sammy's adventures. Although the 3D effects were partly impressive, especially the underwater scenes, it was almost impossible to watch the movie until the end. There are two reasons.

First I had to fight massive tiredness. Already after about 5 minutes you feel that this movie will probably become boring. And this feeling is right, it's one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. This is because there is no coherent plot, the characters are dull and you just don't care about what happens to them.

More important is the movie's intention which is so flat, not to say primitive that you get annoyed quickly. In short term: humans are bad. They put oil in the water motiveless, cut trees, kill whales, hunt fishes, pollute the environment, make global warming. There is no good about them, with two exceptions: Greenpeace is good and hippies are good. The rest is just a pain in the ass for the world. It is funny to see that the smoke coming out of the pipe of the Greenpeace boat is a thin light gray cloud, while the other boats spit out massive black clouds. This example gives an impression of the way the movie tries to manipulate, especially the targeted audience which are kids. So it is just a long sequence of cruelties the humans do to the nature without connection and without traceable motivation.

Probably the writer/producer share a hardcore view of the world where humans are just an error of nature disrupting the system. In this case they could do something better for the environment by saving the electric energy which was dissipated making this movie.

Simple, but very enjoyable

[cesar-onlinebiz · 10/10 · 22 January 2011]

This is a beautiful animation with fun 3D sequences. It has a simple story with an ecological message but as the movie is aimed at kids that is actually a good thing. The story and message will not fly over the little ones' heads.

The characters are likable and the story's pace go on the right speed, not dragging itself or going too fast.

Good fun for kids and parents as well.

I've watched a dubbed version on Brazilian Portuguese so I can't speak for the original voice work, but this version I watched was very well done.

The English version features the voices of stars like Melanie Grifith and Tim Curry.

I highly recommend the 3D version as the movie has many sequences that will not be as entertaining and good looking on the 2D version.

an ok movie

[yydjwn · 6/10 · 23 October 2022]

It has beautiful scenery, vivid animation and voice-over. In general it keeps you engaged and is quite enjoyable. It is appropriate for kids and doesn't have any violence or bad influence. I prefer to watch simple, beautiful movies like this with my kids; rather than many other movies that are filled with desire, violence, and pornography. However, I think the theme is not clear. It is a mixture of love story, environmental concerns, and searching for your own dreams; but those themes don't come together to compliment each other. To me, the theme of the movie is the most important thing, that is the message you want to deliver. So I only gave it 6 out of 10.

For children up to 4 or 5 years old

[catanos · 1/10 · 14 November 2010]

Just saw the movie yesterday at cinema in 3D. If you want to see this movie in a cinema theater, don't. It's like watching a very dull screen-saver for 2 and a half hours. There is no plot, no action, no comedy scenes, nothing. Just two turtles floating around in the ocean. The animation and 3D effects are in no way close to what can be accomplished in 2010. Speech was not synchronized with mouth movement, for some of the scenes they did not bother adding any sound effects at all (in the scene where the hippie plays some drums around a camp fire, you can only hear the fire, but not the drums), human movement was very unnatural. The whole movie looked like it was developed in a basement or small apartment by a 12 year old on his old PC. Very disappointing, not a movie worthy of a cinema theater. It's not good when the best part of the whole movie is the watered down coke you buy at the cinema store.

Great Animation, Great Music, Mildly Okay Film

[nammage · 5/10 · 14 September 2013]

The animation in this film is top quality, I even enjoyed the music but the total focus of the film is the Environmental calamities in the world. It starts in the 1960's and ends in the 2000's. It goes from oil spills, a slight mention of war (the Vietnam war) to the whaling in the Arctic ocean. The way that trash is just thrown into the ocean, netting (catching abundances of fish from the ocean), ocean-lined pipelines polluting the ocean, global warming, etc., etc., etc., Non- stop of one Environmental issue after another, mainly dealing with the ocean. These are important issues but pick one or two of them not cram them all in an 86 minute film. What story there was was completely lost by the obvious political bias of the film.

If this was supposed to be humorous it was lost on me. I did laugh a few times but they were quiet laughs. The story of Sammy and Shelly could've been so well done (especially with all the love songs used) but you get pulled away from it when the rush of Environmental issues is cutting into, what apparently is supposed to be the main story.

Kids may enjoy this more than adults based on the fact the political side of this may escape them. Then again...maybe not.

'Twilight' Meets 'Birdemic'

[Doobidoob · 2/10 · 28 February 2011]

I volunteer at an art-house cinema every weekend and I normally usher at the kids film (mostly because everyone else hates it). I do admit, many of the kids film are mediocre (usually just re-showing a mainstream Hollywood film), but not usually this bad. There was a preview showing of this film on my last shift.

Where do I begin? The writing is absolutely abysmal, shoving a conspicuous environmental message in your face while torturing you with its' one dimensional characters. The characters have no real chemistry; we are told that Ray and Sammy are essentially soul mates and we do spend a lot of screen time with them, but I am not convinced by their relationship whatsoever. The character development in general is totally contrived and it does not enhance the plot (which is sort of the point of characterisation). The plot is boring, unfocused and badly structured, with the protagonists goal changing throughout the duration of the film (and I mean that it randomly changes). It seems that the writer also enjoys using Deus Ex Machina a lot. It doesn't try to emotionally or intellectually engage with its' audience. Rather, it preaches on about how we need to protect our planet, waving the accusatory finger at the children in the audience.

Now, I'm not against its' environmental message; 'WALL-E' had the same theme and it was a masterpiece. The difference here lies in the execution of the idea. 'WALL-E' is well written and does not bully the audience into a certain world-view. It is a plot and character driven story that allows us to emotionally engage with the situation as we absorb the message through osmosis. Its' like the people responsible for 'Sammy's Adventure' put no passion into it and only wanted to tell people to recycle.

In terms of animation, its pretty good. Not as good as what people are making it out to be, though, as it does seem a bit off at times.

Its hard to judge the quality of the voice acting as the version that I saw was a British-English dub (I have no idea why, seeing as it was a word-for-word re-dub of the original) and that version was simply terrible. It was the kind of voice acting I would expect from a straight to DVD rip-off of 'Finding Nemo'. However, I did see a tiny clip of the original dub and the voice acting is a lot better (even if, objectively, it's not anything impressive).

As for the design/overall look of the film, it's pretty...meh. It's nice looking, don't get me wrong. It's just that they are obviously trying to imitate other studios. The style of the film is very bland and boring. It would have been nice to see something a bit more creative. In fact, the credits had some really nice designs and I wonder why they didn't try to make it more like that.

I didn't see it in 3D, so all the scenes in which the 3D gimmicks were supposed to occur were even more distracting and pointless (especially the part with the octopus, which had no bearing on the plot whatsoever).

I surprised by the amount of praise that it is already getting. If this were a big Hollywood movie, it would never be given so much adulation. This film is as tedious to watch as 'Twilight' and as laughably bad as 'Birdemic', which is why I call it "Twilight Meets Birdemic". Now, unlike 'Twilight', it doesn't have a bad message, but if I had kids, I would not take them to see this and spare them the 88 minutes of boredom.

I'm giving this film a 2 out of 10 because the animation is the only thing redeeming about it.

Gave it a 10 for the 3D

[barryhomework04 · 10/10 · 22 November 2010]

Don't listen to the 3D snobs, the 3D on this film is wonderful. My kids watched it in Thai while I listened to tunes on my I-Pod (because I can't speak Thai). Amazing. If you're a teenager looking for fart jokes, glib one-liners, sexual innuendo, or pop culture references, you'll be disappointed. But if you can just relax into the outdoor and underwater and nature scenery you'll have a great time. The 3D pops out at you like the old traditional style on steroids. During the scene where the turtles are hatching, it actually feels like you're leaning over a hole on the beach. Snakes and piranhas jump out of the screen and and tiny fish hover at your nose.

I do agree the story seemed kind of cliché. But if you are looking for a kind of thrill ride of 3D with wonderful art direction, you'll love it. So glad I have kids or might never have experienced the best 3D I have personally experienced.

Slowly flowing on the raft of life

[p-stepien · 4/10 · 22 January 2011]

Sammy (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) was born during the hippie era. One of the last to leave the nest in a rush for the ocean his fate seemed doomed to be short and tragic. But some wit and bravado enables him to reach the ocean, whilst unwittingly saving Snow (Melanie Griffith) as well. Soon after he embarks on a journey through life that will see him meet a plethora of friends and venturing around the world in the process...

I did have some initial doubts about commenting on this movie - being undeniably spoilt with the charm and wit of Miyazaki or Pixar. How well are adults prepared to voice their opinion about an animation, whose target audience seems inevitably to be below the teen-line and would have probably never seen this movie were it not for my child. Nonetheless I decided to venture into an opinion basing my review on a purely adult perspective.

And in this context Sammy's adventures fail to impress or even engage, unlike the already mentioned Miyazaki creativity, which manages to capture the warmth in adults, take a grip of it and indulge everyone concerned into childhood fantasies. Sammy basically drifts through life and unfortunately the way of life is also predominantly the feel of the movie: slow, unfocused and with no real point to it.

The animation is really tremendous and a pleasure for the eye, which makes it a visually appealing experience for all involved. As a parent I much prefer such beauty to captivate my child's eye than the harshness and grossness of most of Cartoon Network's offering. With this perspective in mind I didn't feel my time was wasted on the movie, even though several almost visceral and realistic chase sequences with piranhas or sharks seemed a bit out of place given the overall tone of the animation. At times it did make the film seem more like something from the Animal Planet and not a children's story.

The life of Sammy may be a visually stunning and happy affair, but it is unable to invoke the emotions necessary to make it anything other than an adequate Sunday child timewaster.

Politically Correct

[clayton-768-475762 · 1/10 · 24 August 2013]

Great. Now I have to worry about my children being programmed by the sheeple robots. I don't need my offspring to be preached to by talking sea life. I want my children to think for themselves, not follow some PC version of gaia religion posing as pseudoscience. Next time, I will enlighten them to the joys of Roadrunner and Coyote or Bugs Bunny. To think, I have been worried about the sex and violence my kids might see. At least with porn, you know going in what you are going to see. I now have to worry about them being sent to reeducation camps per the USSR. How can a group of obviously talented people lend their art to such rubble? I will take notice of these people and will steer clear of any project they are associated with in the future. I feel violated by these people. They have lost my money and the money of others I can educate.

Weak story without a plot

[dreenphlanger · 5/10 · 24 October 2016]

It is always nice seeing some movie or cartoon inspired by the tales from the sea. But this movie has no tale.

Almost from the start, the audience was offered no promising or even interesting story, nothing that would make them continue watching. This movie just began and went on with its slow pace, with no specific goal ahead, as if it is some documentary about the life in the sea depths.

Even though the artwork is nicely done, little it contributed to overall impression. The characters, somewhat dull and naive, lacking vividness and soul, are literary swimming through this story, having almost no effect on its development.

So, this is by no means some special tale, let alone adventure, but children up to the age of 6 may find it appealing due to fine artwork and pretty colors. Otherwise, I do not recommend this movie, as I think it would be a waste of time.

A good kid's movie

[aleconstantine · 9/10 · 31 January 2012]

This is a cute movie with a nice message. Some people seem to think there's too much "humans being evil" in the movie, but that's because pretty much everything humans do to the oceans is evil. There is no exaggeration here...in fact, I was impressed they found a way to put the good side to human activity as well.

Aside from the obvious artistic license concerning talking, sentient animals, the movie gets a lot of things right including the species of turtles nesting on the same beach, what they eat, natural predators, floating on rafts of seaweed, a sedentary octopus, the dangers of plastic and so on.

I gave this movie such a high rating because it's my daughter's favourite - we have it on DVD and she love's it. Now, my daughter is two years old, and it's certainly not good enough for me to watch over and over again, but I think it's great for her.

A FINDING NEMO RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!!

[monthlybills-49519 · 1/10 · 30 April 2023]

This is a horrible finding Nemo Rip-off and The army school They played this movie I hate you Studio Canal For doing this for a Reason The animation and the characters Designs look similar and rotten and I hate this For Ripping Off Finding Nemo that one is better For The quality and the characters Were better in Finding Nemo (2003) the detail of These 2 movies a A Weird plot and have ungrateful Appreciation The Detail over Pixar and Entertainment One are not incredible and the characters are just amazing in Pixar's movie and Acting good in one part of A turtle's tales the copped a scene yeah..

entertaining, great soundtrack and good message

[caritherage · 10/10 · 28 August 2012]

I hadn't heard of this movie at all before stumbling onto it on Netflix, so I had no expectations. My husband and I watched it with our two year old son and we all greatly enjoyed it. My son asks to watch it again regularly. Great animation, intriguing story and enjoyable music to accompany it. It does carry a strong message about the environment, pollution, human interference, etc., but I didn't find it bothersome, since it was presented in such a way as to influence kids to be more conscientious about their actions and about the world around them (and really, what is wrong with promoting that sort of behavior?). The story does not steer away from the very real dangers that sea turtles face, so if you have a sensitive or squeamish kid, you may want to pass on this for now, but my son wasn't negatively affected by it at all. Some have suggested the message is too liberal, or that it is annoying to be preached to during a movie, but as a non-liberal myself, I didn't come away with that feeling at all. The issues presented were fact-based, so if you find it distasteful, then feel free to stick your head back in the sand and ignore the reality that surrounds us all. All in all, I recommend this movie!

Much better than expected, and a big improvement over Fly Me to the Moon

[TheLittleSongbird · 8/10 · 11 April 2011]

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it, let alone like it. Although I didn't hate Fly Me to the Moon(also directed by Ben Stassen) as much as others did, it did have a number of problems. In every way, A Turtle's Tale:Sammy's Adventure is a big improvement.

I won't say the film is perfect. The narrative is not as predictable or as saccharine as Fly Me to the Moon, in fact it is actually quite cute and appealing complete with a good message, but it does occasionally have its mundane and dull spots particularly with some scenes with the humans. The animation was in general amazing, but I did think some of the human character designs left a lot to be desired.

That said, when it comes to the 3D, this is one of those rare exceptions where I'd say the 3D version is a must-see. Because it is clear and sharp enough, and doesn't distract too much. And when it comes to the animation in general, a vast majority of it is amazing, with gorgeous colours and stunning underwater sequences. The soundtrack fits very well, the characters are very likable and endearing mostly, the writing is much funnier and smarter with the jokes not going as overboard as badly as they could have done(I'll drop a hint, no fainting female flies in sight!) and even the pace is snappier. The voice work is very good, with John Hurt the standout as older Sammy.

All in all, much better than expected. Beautiful to watch and much more appealing to a family audience than Stassen's previous effort. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Best 3D ever

[nanax1559 · 9/10 · 7 February 2011]

Perfect film for its target audience. It seems to me that the other reviewers did not see this film with the intended audience. 4 to 8 year old kids love it. It's a simple story but the 5 kids I took to see this film for a birthday party loved it (in Paris, last Summer) and so did the other 150 or so film goers in the theater. The characters are adorable. Much better turtles and underwater environments than in the dated "Finding Nemo". The message about the environment was great too. Not patronizing, just the right amount. I wonder how they can do it, at a fraction of the cost of the US budgets for animation. But best of all: the 3D. By far the best use of the technology I have seen so far. Not even Avatar comes close. This alone is worth the price of admission. I have seen several 3D films since and they seem to be getting from bad to worse.

Well, well, well. Good movie for kids... but enjoyable to anyone!!

[kp_ruddin · 8/10 · 6 August 2011]

I have finished watching the movie right now and I am totally satisfied with it.

I am fond of animated movies till i watched "The Monster Ink". While I started "Sammy's Adventure" I was a little bit confused about it. As the plot of the movie is the ocean and one of my most favorite movies (Finding Nemo) also plotted there, I thought, better to say was afraid, the movie will fail to reach my level of satisfaction. But at the end it got a good score from me.

Finding Nemo is certainly a classic movie and I guess with a similar plot no movie will be able to overtake its image and appeal. But this adventure touched me with one of its unique feature that HUMAN DO THINK FOR THE NATURE.

Someone may find this one too easy going, may be slow moving, but I assure you take your kids with you, go back to your childhood and watch the movie. You will enjoy I am sure. If you don't have a kid, no matter go to your old days.

So, I think this is a good movie for kids... but enjoyable to anyone!!

1 of the best 3d blurays the 3d animation is PHENOMENAL!! great story as well!!

[joiningjt · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

This is an extremely Underrated film as of this review it's at only 6 which is WAY 2 low!! The 3d is top notch in every aspect. The story is excellent the voice talent is definitely a title caliber. Not sure why it's only at 6 but seems to be par for the course if I love it its low . Anyway for a animated film it's hard to beat this film it's great for the whole family. The regular 2d is top quality as well but if you're looking for a phenomenal 3d to own this is it, part 2 is great as well!!
