I didn't love this movie, but to be fair, I often don't care for these types of animal movies. The bird definitely had the best lines and delivery, so the movie wasn't a total flop. My four year old asked every 15 minutes when we could leave -- he generally doesn't start asking until near the end of the movie, but asked from the beginning of this one. My five year old seemed to like it enough that she wasn't antsy to leave until the end (and she generally sits well through the whole movie). All in all, not for us.
