This was, for me anyway, the usual Saturday afternoon flick with my partner and son to pass an hour or two.
To be honest could have been any movie.
The movie started sedately enough but gathered pace and complexity with every minute ,throughout the audience was laughing out loud , adults and children alike (including me).
It had everything for kids and adults, some rude jokes, great references to adult movies. A multi-layered villain, heroes and comedic characters.
The animation was stunning but i stopped looking at the animation and got hooked on the story and characters, maybe that's the way it should be.
Definitely worth a hour or so of anybody's time.
