This just looks awful... It just feels like a straight to DVD, five dollar bin at Walmart, type of movie... It looks low-budget, the dialogue in the preview is terrible, and the animation looks average at best... just a cheap money grab from WhoGivesACrap Studios...
My five year-old LOVED it, and I thought it was entertaining, with just enough adult jokes (I don't mean dirty jokes, I mean stuff like using Sulu's voice for the time machine) to keep it interesting for us adults, too.
Dude. This is not anti-Thanksgiving. The moral of this film was that Thanksgiving should be about giving, sharing, and spending time with people you love. It simply reinstated that this can be done without anyone's life having to end.
PETA themes? Animal rights themes, maybe, but not PETA themes. PETA is a terrible, money-grubbing organisation. And this certainly isn't the first children's film to show the world from an animal's perspective, depicting humans as evil and greedy - think of Chicken Run (the humans wanted to make pies out of the chickens) Bambi (a hunter killed Bambi's mother) Babe (Babe's mother was killed by humans) Charlotte's Web (a barnyard pig is rescued from humans) Free Willy (a whale is saved from captivity) 101 Dalmations (Cruelle wants to capture the dogs to make them into fur coats) in every single one of these films, humans are depicted as evil. That's because they are. That is reality.
I won't disagree that the film is terrible, boring, whatever, I didn't like it at all. But all this stuff about PETA and anti-Thanksgiving and vegan "propaganda" is bullcrap.
I just want to thank you for giving an intelligent, meaningful, educational, well-written response on these message boards. Such responses aren't found here very often, as I'm sure you well know.
