One friend walked out of this and found it a waste of time. The other found it to be the best animated film in 10 years. WHAT DO I THINK??
I’ll let ya know as soon as it arrives on DVD
If i’m not that friend who walked out, add me to the list. It is everything wrong with everything rolled into one. If i did not leave, Happy Feet would have ruined Penguins forever. Grating, unbearable and unacceptable. However – Flushed Away was a delightful surprise. Still – i long for June, when a rat will be bring a very much needed different kind of CGI animated STORY to the mix…
I, too, thought it was AWFUL POO POO! wow. almost unwatchable and a carless journey as well as RASCIST!! Who was the liker? Speak up, Blasphemer!
