Negative Positive
Title: Crass, obvious, and stupid.
Review: I see from others' reviews that I am in a distinct, possibly singular, minority here, however our family views practically every animated release these days (thanks to our toddler). This is the worst, by far, of any of the recent crop. The dialogue is crass and obvious, using the comedians' (Leary, Romano, Latifa & a mush-mouthed Leguizamo) schtick "attitude" to drive a vehicle with essentially no plot whatsoever (escaping a flood?). None of the characters draw much sympathy, as the harshness of each of these comedians' delivery virtually negates any bond with the audience, young or old. The film consists primarily of plenty of animated and often violent sight-gag filler, and crass pandering to certain adult "sensibilities". Even the animated "laugh-guarantee" characters, such as the possums, seem mean-spirited and ugly. Terrible flick - don't expose your children to such garbage.
