Jerry Seinfeld, like, I do not very much. I previewed this knowing he was going to annoy me no end. I was wrong.

I have never been overly impressed with some of the dreamworks productions either , however , this I thought was quite good. It had a good blend of basic bright vibrant colours , catchy music and simple stuff for the young ones and some excellent one liners that made me chuckle and it moved forward reasonably well. . I guess we cant leave out the morals which seem to be present in every toon these days since loony toons hung up their hat, yes a few good messages.

3.5 out of 5 from me

CINEMA: Bradford Cineworld
AUDITORIUM: 4
PRESENTATION: 35mm with Dolby Digital sound
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Buzzing/hissing in the front 3 sound channels; very noticeable during quiet scenes
RATING: 3/5

I'd been looking forward to this movie for a while now and finally got to see it. It wasn't as good as the Shrek movies (I expected to laugh more than I did), but it was still worth seeing. Plenty of colorful scenes, and a very apt 'balance of nature' message running through it. Still held my attention all the way through though.

On the whole, not as disappointing as I had been led to expect by the reviews, but it's not a movie I'd go see a second time.
