Well, I'm not going to write too much in-depth on this movie. It's not a movie to be analyzed. If you only want to see believable antics & possible outcomes? Stay home, make some tea, and SIT YOUR CRANKY BUTT DOWN FOR THE DOCUMENTARY CHANNEL. Boy, some of you must've been really miserable kids whenever cartoons were on TV. Do note that Pixar makes a few shameless references to their past projects. If you see it, you'll know what I mean.
This Shaggy Dog Movie: There are some potentially stressful scenes for young children. It involves what is implied to have happened to animals in captivation. Think of weapons that metro police might have to use on an uncontrollable person. Then again, Disney gave me Bambi and Old Yeller. We all know what happened to them. I may never get over that.
The script is typical Disney. I remember watching the original Shaggy Dog movie and loving it lots. I don't remember much about what the original, because I was so young. The part to keep in mind, when reading this is: "I remember loving it lots." Little kids beside me with their mum enjoyed it. A retired couple six rows ahead roared the loudest. I gave it a "7" because of the smiles it gave people around me. It was harmless & people knew what to expect.
For those that trash this movie because it isn't up to your high tech violent standards? I type this:
EVERYONE TURNS: 6... 7, AND 8 YEARS OLD IN THEIR LIFE.
You get the picture. Don't make fun of something you've outgrown.
