I am usually a sucker for talking animals, so this kind of film entertains me. This film was engaging enough for my 3.5 year old, who sat through the whole thing (a first in a movie theater). The music is recognizable and that helps to keep the older kids & adults engaged, while I'm sure my son was mesmerized by the acrobatics of the little rodents. It was innocuous and amusing, but I must say, I would have preferred to wait for the 2nd run movie theater - not worth the $20 I spent - I think only the Disneys and Pixars are, generally. WARNING: If you think that Beyonce's "Single Ladies" gets stuck in your head when she does it, wait until you hear the rendition done by the Chippettes. I cannot get that horror out of my head!
