it was good! The graphics were really good. The plot was like a cross between several Disney movies, but overall it was pretty funny

it's more at the kiddy end of the scale, Monsters Inc. and Shreck were better

My 3 year old and 5 year old loved it. The best part is that the movie is rated pg-13 so the youngest got in for free. NOrmally if it is a g-rated, they charge for her. Even though she sits in my lap and falls asleep.

It had its funny moments, however, I would not have gone to see it unless I was with the kiddies.

I really thought it would have been better than it was. It was ok, laughed at a few parts. But, overall, it was kinda lame.

I enjoyed it quite a bit.

But then movies like this(Toy Story, Shrek, Bugs Life, ect) are probably my favorite genre of movies.

Not as good as good as a Pixar movie, but very enjoyable none the less.

I originaly saw it almost entirely for the Episode 2 trailer that ran along with it, but I ended up enjoying it a fair bit. Not nearly as good as Shrek, but I'd say it's on the same level as Monster's Inc.

bleh, its a movie for 8 year olds. i found the humor pretty flat and missed totally most of the time. sure its cute, but thats not enough for me. not to mention the horrible cgi. i'm not sure how anyone thats seen toystory 2/shrek/monsters inc in the theater can say this movie looks good. they can't even model the fur on manfred right, it looks like plastercine. textures are pretty repetitive in the background, humans look cheesy. sabertooths look like they have wobbly sea monster flaps on their checks. basaically the only decent thing they rendered was the water, but thats not saying much. that being said this studio doesn't have the experience or tools of dreamworks or pixar obviously. they did normal type special fx b4 this film i think.

still.. the characters weren't likable, the story was standard fare, all the modeled critters were ugly, especially after seeing that lame disney dinosoar movie.

the only good thing about the movie waas the squirrel, who only appears about 4 times sadly.

I watched it for the STAR WARS trailer. The movie was ok but could have been better. Had good graphics
and some funny squirl or something.
