I had fairly high expectations, because I love animated movies. This one? I will not recommend it to anyone. The plot was terrible. After half of the film, I was tempted to leave. Honestly, why get talking dogs and birds involved??? They don't fit at all. I heard people in the auditorium laugh TWICE!!! My 12 year old daughter was as disappointed as I was. The film could have ended before Kevin the bird surfaced. The old man should have reached his destination with the house and then maybe the boy scout could have gone to the Honor badge ceremony with the old man. There were a lot of unnecessary stretching the film parts. The trailers had been promising. Sad.
