I just saw this in the theater with my 4 yr old and she was really scared a lot of the movie. I'm not sure why the director would make the movie like this since he knew it was going to attract kids of all ages so who knows what his target audience was. The worst part is it didn't need to be so loud and overdramatic but thats just one of the many issues I had with it. The parts that tried to be funny were not really funny since it was simple jokes which is a shame since they had very funny people doing the voices. The songs and singing were also sub par so a lot of this just seems half ass. Like they knew it was a visual masterpiece, which I do agree with since the animals look amazingly real, but just like with high budget action movies that have no good plot and writing it seems like they sunk all their effort into the visual and lacked on the script.
