Any thoughts?

I was entertained by it but it had a lot of moral flaws for a kids movie. Stealing: I count at least two times where they stole something. In this case transportation, I won't spoil it. Lying, the main character spent almost the entire movie telling one lie or another to advance his position and he did not suffer for the action. Deaths: Since when did it become OK in a cartoon to be killing off bad guys? In the past it was a stretch to see maybe one death in a cartoon and the person who died had to pretty much be the incarnation of evil and they usually ended up being killed by their own actions. In this they were killing off people left, right and center. I hope this is not the new standard for kids movies. It is hard enough teaching them to hold up morality without the movie industry teaching them to do otherwise

Well, it's meant to be like INDIANA JONES, and those movies had a lot of the things you said.

the main character spent almost the entire movie telling one lie or another to advance his position and he did not suffer for the action.

He almost lost the girl he loved because of it. And he apologized.

ah, but he didn't. So what message does that send to the kids?

It teaches them about redemption. Now, if you still have a problem with this and any other movie, to talk to your kid after watching it and explain things to him. Or, watch the movie on your own first and then with him if you feel he can watch it.

Sara's outfit is too sexy I think for a kids movie.
