Storyline

Dr. Elena Kinder and Dr. Heap work for BABYCO, the world's leading manufacturer in baby products. What the public doesn't know, however, is that Dr. Kinder and Dr. Heap are secretly working on cracking the code to "baby talk" which is actually a highly sophisticated language which allows babies to communicate the knowledge of the secrets of the universe with which they are born. Problems arise when Sly, the smartest of the babies, escapes from the lab and unites the babies of the outside world to help free the babies trapped in the lab. Kinder and Heap must find Sly before it is too late.

This Is Suppose To Be A Movie For Kids Not Adults.

i rate it 8/10 because if you think of it as a child and watch it you'll love it. i used to have the DVD when i was a little baby.. i used to watch it each day, because its a movie for kids, not adults.. so you can rate it as an adult. but you also gotta think about the kids side. its a fantasy for kids. its something funny to grow up on.

its a great movie for kids, not that great for adults, but for kids its actually one of my favorite kids movie.. don't watch it. something called, if you got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all! this movie was made for kids not adults, and the best idea is to buy it for your kids, not for you.
