You know, this is really getting tiring. The collective brain cell of non-Pixar animation studios needs to adapt to a few simple facts: --A buddy movie is not the required format for an animated film, and should that format be used, the concept that the buddies are in fact homosexual need not be presented to the four-year-old target audience in a ratio greater than one joke out of four.
--The remaining three jokes out of four need not involve bodily functions, indeed of any kind.
--Casting animals as protagonists in a story is a time-honoured tradition, although traditional animated deer spend less time making genital-related comments to squirrels, and more time weeping over their deceased parents in a doe-eyed fashion. However, the use of animals in a film does not directly necessitate animating all the human characters in a way designed to put aforementioned four-year-olds off the species for life. Politically speaking, it might be deemed disingenuous to sidestep the carnivorous habits of many of the furry friends while condemning hunters as immoral.
--Female skunks are a cheap shot.
That is all.
