    Movie worth a watch
    This movie is not worth the 1 & 2 star ratings. It is not one of the best animated movies, but I have seen worse.

    The animation is really good. There's some interesting character designs and beautiful environments.

    There's some funny bits across the movie (not the farting jokes! - it was so overused) & the drama is a little over the top at times, but overall it is just a fun movie.
