The worst movie of all time.

Oh, so bad. I wish there was a way to give it no stars. Everything this company produces stinks.

Don't Bother

Ridiculous. First of all, why would anyone take something that is based on a show that holds great affection in one country and then try to sell it another where it has no relevance at all? I bought the British version from England because of my interest in Robbie Williams, and I have to say it was okay. Being American, I didn't have any childhood memories of this show to make me really interested, but the humour was definitely British and Robbie Williams was good as were the other voice talents (all actors I have seen before), but the American version...what a travesty? There is a simple charm to the British version, we Americans can't do charm. The pop culture references are lame (a bit like the Shrek series) and it loses entirely everything that made the original watchable. Show your kids something else...this will rot their brains and they won't develop a sense of humour.

Yeesh, people expect so much from a movie these days. Relax and enjoy the film.
Many people think this movie stunk. Trust me, there are way worse. For me,I thought this movie was good. I watched it twice in a row. The acting was good enough and it was cool watching a snail, cow, shaggy dog,train,and bunny go on a little adventure. It was cool spotting out all the references in the movie as well. Give the movie a chance and don't get so into it. It's a short cartoon, not "Gone with the Wind".

Erase expectations, and it's great

This is a movie for kids that has a lot of...silly movie references and ad libbing thrown in for adult amusement. It's very well directed and animated, and it seems like the actors had a lot of fun making the movie. My 2 year old LOVES it, though neither he nor I were too impressed the first time we saw it. Upon subsequent viewing, the real..joy of the movie, the fun and spirit of it really set in. It's a well made, little kid movie. It's perfect for 2-4 year olds, emphasizing the strength of relationships and...love. Pure, unadulterated, friend-love. Not a lot of people are hip to that, and I can only imagine that that is why it received such poor ratings. That, and some of the puns are just...oh, my sweet heavens, they're awful, but that's just part of the charm...
A great game for adults to play while watching this movie- name the voice talent! I'll give the most obvious voice away- I think a lot of folks watched this movie expecting John Stewart to toss out political humor...Nope! Just mostly kid humor, because it's a kid movie. Almost all of the other voices are also very famous people, and my husband and I were surprised at some of the celebs we couldn't guess!

Not Shrek but not Master of Disguise either

Yes, this isn't the world's greatest animated movie but it's not even close to being the worst. The characters are cute and interesting to children and it's not really designed to appeal much to adults. Most children's TV series today don't appeal to adults either (with some notable exceptions like Kipper and Pocoyo). It's not a classic must have and do keep in mind it was based on a old TV series and like most movies based on TV series it's something that probably could have been done in 1/2 hour show and kept the kids happy. That being said I think anyone giving it 1 star (or less) is a bit off base for what the film was really intended. Not something I'd have paid money to see in the cinema at full price but wouldn't stop me from buying a copy for the house. It reminds me a lot of the Christmas TV specials we would wait each year to see - Rudolph, Frosty etc. At least the animation has improved a lot since then!
