    5/10
    Hardly a classic, but diverting
    Very run-of-the-mill - something for the kids to watch on a rainy Sunday when there's nothing else on.

    You get the feeling they weren't really trying very hard with the translation - something that seems common to almost all dubbed cartoons.

    Storyline is derivative, and - OK it's a film about talking animals - but even so, suspension of disbelief is strained to breaking point at times.

    Just to correct a review from earlier - he says "come back stupid ice floe", not "Come back stupid ass fool".
