User Reviews

Wow avoid if you can

Well all I can say is this is one of the worst animations I have seen in a long time.

To begin with the voice actors have no other emotion other than read as if they reading a book or maybe they thought they were all the robots. How they got Natalie dormer to sign on I don't know, she must have just been killed off on thrones and thought she wouldn't have got another job like all the other deaths off that show. Don't even get me started with the Ronaldo character and his voice that is just ridiculous.

Then the actual animation itself is pretty poor and would expect this as an early 2000 cartoon film.

As for the story that is just ridiculous, the story boarding meeting must have been a free for all, they must have gone we like secret life of pets, wall-e, big hero 6 and bolt and then I am legend and thrown it all together and well it is just a big mess.

The song with the crocodile, tiger and hyena has to be said is awful.

If you can don't bother watching this with your kids as it is no fun nor entertaining.
