shareStay far, FAR away from this incredibly awful film. I wouldn't take my daughter to see this garbage. She would rather see Mickey Mouse or Yo Gabba Gabba film. When I saw the trailer, I almost choked on my milk. It reminded me of a bad version of Barney and I don't really care for him either. Hopefully this film will be out of theaters by this time next week.
shareMy mil dragged me to see this, with my 4 ear old. We were the only people in the theater. My daughter go a glow stick which she was excited about. She loved the movie, me on the other hand played on my cell. she loved getting up to dance. This reminded me of the 70 tv shows I used to watch when I was a kid, hr huffenpuff or whatever it was called. With the, magic flute
shareH.R. Pufnstuf?

I watched the trailer and it reminded me of an even dumber rip off of "The Banana Splits".
"That mans' nuts!!! Grab 'em!"
The only people in the theatre? Now that's box office material!
shareThe Heaven's Gate of this generation............................WTF???????
share"Oh My" is right. You nailed it, chris wing.I watched the trailer and WOW did this looked like s&%t then.This movie sucked so bad the kids it was made for did not even like it. Holy S%*t! Who was the genius that wanted to get this made? Can you imagine the meeting between the makers and the studio execs to get the green light to make this thing? Maker: "hey studio exec..have we got a film for you. We will have a bunch of mutated inflattables that look like the result of a Teletubbies, Smurfs and Barney orgy. They will sing bone crushingly stupid songs. The plot will be so BORING that adults will likley gouge out their own eyes with their drink straws just to pass the time. The kids will commence to soiling themselves just to have an excuse to leave the theater. Oh and it will cost you,the studio a mere 12 million to make and another 40 million to market it. Whaddya think?" Studio exec: "Well hell, son. Why the hell not. What's another 52 million down the F*%$in' toilet?" Only in America...

There's probably a drug cartel somewhere that's laughing their asses off, since this movie looks like the best money laundering operation in the history of the world. This thing cost 20 mil prod and 40 mil marketing?! Yeah, right. I can make a better movie with a disposable camera, a hobo and a washed-out hooker for fvcks's sake, and I remember confessing once that a plebe like me could never hope to match the cinematic virtues of Mega-shark vs. Giant Octopus.
shareLOVED your post! it had me laughing my ass off. "Disposable camera, a hobo, and a washed out hooker..." very clever and funny

Remember, "Nobody ever went broke overestimating the lack of taste of the American people"?
Well, we can't use that anymore.
I've never even heard of this movie until they mentioned it on a breakfast program just now. Either it had commercials just on kids networks or it had no advertising at all.
