Some family films are better described as kids’ films, as
they usually end up entertaining the kids but making their chaperones wish they
were doing anything else. Some kids’ films are better described as
family films, as they manage to give just as much entertainment value for the
adults as it does for the kids (sometimes more so for the adults). This film
somehow falls right down the middle of those two: It’s an animated film most
definitely made for kids, one I can easily see being engaging for little’ins,
but is rather inoffensive for adults. Not entertaining, just…
inoffensive. And that’s not from lack of trying, just to make things more
bizarre.
