I gotta admit, I really enjoyed this. It's not Pixar storytelling, but the animation is gorgeous and it was fun. And the celebrity voices don't get in the way like some of these film tend to do.

yeah, this was pretty funny and hilarious at times, way better than all shrek's turds, surfing penguins, zoo crap, etc...

I can't believe it didn't get one single post til today actually, but well, while it's no pixar (maybe better than cars only) it's pretty damn close with likable characters and a pretty solid/funny story.

Highly recommended.

not into it.  probably the best looking dreamworks animated film (the not-3D stuff at the beginning was excellent too), but suffers from the usual dreamworks 'who gives a shit' factor.  why are animals acting like humans?  i can't not compare dreamworks to pixar.
