This CGI film was a large part 2009 animation movies (the other being "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs")

I'd come find away to watch this movie in theaters & it was a hit. I soon to see no objection in any part of the movie. This CGI film ( along with "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and several others) are what made 2009 such a great year for Family animated movies. Sure, there were mature-themed gags in last years (2008) CGI movies, but kids usually didn't understand them. I Understand what "At The Movies" was saying about this film, but I like this movie. Maybe someday Summit Entertament will hopefully become the next Pixar. But until then, all we can do is hope and remember the nostalgic charm it gave us.
