This movie remains, after 10 films, the highlight of the summer for me. The animation is glorious; while it's not as 'realistic' as some of the advancements in Shrek 3, it has a consistent style of its own, the colors are so vibrant, the action is exhilarating, and the modeling of fur on the animals is incredible. The voice acting is very well done throughout, with performances of note from Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane. I haven't laughed this hard at an animated movie since The Incredibles. I believe it to be fun for all ages!
