I know that it was made for 8 year olds. That being said... My son enjoyed it, but not to the point that he is dying to see it again. It is a typical Dreamworks flick. Big name voice talent, popular culture references galore and rotten writing! Another lame example of why Pixar is by far the best at what they do.This whole movie's story line could have fueled a Pixar short! Thank goodness I didn't waste the extra money on 3D tickets. I'll wait for "UP" to do that.
