User Reviews

 
A disappointing feature-length adaptation of the enjoyable TV show.
2 December 1998 | by danmaskell – See all my reviews

Why do filmmakers find it necessary to try to turn cartoons into musicals? I found the many star-studded music numbers irritating, and a poor attempt to appear "cool" to the adult viewers. The entire plot element of the train-wrecked monkeys added nothing to the film, and seemed senseless. My 7 year old son enjoyed it except for the singing. The TV show is better.
