This Is A Good, Cute Movie!!!
I see that the plot of this movie has been detailed wonderfully by other reviews, and so I'll just say that this was really, really a fun, cute movie that my son got as an early Christmas gift - if you're thinking, then, of getting it for your own kid(s) for Xmas, you've still got time to pick it up. The CGi is, in fact, great; the scenes are fun and colorful and fast (perfect for about three to seven years old), and the little inside jokes for the adults are funny as heck...Roger Moore, 007 himself, in a spy flick with cats and dogs? I loved that, and the scene where Diggs drops through a secret door into his super-spy doghouse is reminiscent of Batman and Robin sliding down the Batpole. I just thought that it was an all around cute movie that, granted, left a little to be desired in human character development, but in this case, it didn't matter. The movie is about super-spy animals, for Pete's sake. Let go, laugh, and pick this up as a stuffing stocker - it got pushed aside in the 'Toy Story 3/Shrek/etc.' mania when it was in the theatre, but discover it for your kids, now. =) Loved it!

I LOVE IT, NEW CHARACTERS ARE OUTSTANDING
Awww I love cats & dogs 2 even more than the first movie!!!!! I'm so extremely happy they will do another movies. I specially loved this two new agents: dog and agent kitty being fighting side by side. It was so cool and they are such a cute characters, especially when they are together. And the Kitty Galore with her mouse is so cool! Everything about this movie is totally amazing!!! I can't wait for more movies to come!!! What I don't understand is: why some people gave it bad reviews? Some rated it as bad, because of bad shipping or damaged product. Do not post reviews if it's not about the movie! Post it to the sellers who you bought it from. It would have gotten better ratings. It's such a shame that some people leave bad feedbacks to spoil ratings for a good movies. I've seen bad movies and boring movies. ''Cats and Dogs'' do not deserve bad ratings. What can I say more? That it is my top-favorite movie from now on. And it will be a pleasure for me to watch it again and again.

A cinematic abortion
Sometimes certain movies just have this aura about them. Movie postersfor these particular films are just pungent with a vile odor whiletrailers seem to leave the most horrid and putrid taste in your mouthand cause your face to twist and distort as if you were being putthrough the most despicable forms of torture. You pretty much know,it's like your knee acting up when it rains and you can basically justfeel it in your bones that this movie is going to be terrible and isgoing to be the furthest thing from a pleasant experience. Cats & Dogs:The Revenge of Kitty Galore is such a movie.You pretty much know you're in for some trouble when you hear a coverof Pink's "Get This Party Started" over the opening credits. It feelslike it goes on forever. Let the torture begin. You see that twist onJigsaw's infamous line, "Let the games begin," from the Saw series?You'll be begging to be put into one of Jigsaw's traps by the time thismovie is over.The special effects were at their best when they were more subtle. Whenyou could tell that real animals were used and CG was used to only addreactions to the animals or for more human-like facial expressions. Butthese subtle effects were few and far between, as you can imagine. Thefilm revolves around spy dogs and undercover agent cats after all.Things get exciting, chases heat up, and effects get more extravagant.That's the thing though; you can tell you're just watching somethingthat was created on a computer. They wouldn't be bad if the entire filmwas CG, but they look really artificial with the real world as theirbackdrop.After seeing a movie like this, you have to wonder how much some ofthese actors were offered to do a movie this bad. Did they actuallybelieve in the product or were they just that desperate for a paycheck?It's got to be the latter, right? You've got Cyclops as Diggs (JamesMarsden), Cape Fear's Sam Bowden as Butch (Nick Nolte), VeronicaCorningstone herself as Catherine (Christina Applegate), A Pimp NamedSlickback as a pigeon (Katt Williams), Jack McFarland as the felinerip-off of Hannibal Lecter (Sean Hayes), Vizzini (INCONCEIVABLE!) as acalico cat (Wallace Shawn), oh, and Bette Midler as Kitty Galore.Michael Clarke Duncan shows up as an Old English Sheepdog, says a fewlines, and you never see him again. Is this the first movie ChrisO'Donnell has been in since Vertical Limit? It sure feels that way andit didn't seem like he could get any lower than Vertical Limit untilnow. In the long run Neil Patrick Harris and Katt Williams are probablythe least offensive and closest thing to actual humor in the movie, butthat still isn't much of a compliment.The story is the typical cats against dogs routine with a bit of anedge; an evil cat plans to use a sound that'll be channeled through asatellite orbiting the earth to eventually drive dogs mad and turnagainst their owners. Since humans are also a potential target, spydogs and undercover agent cats will have to team up (cue Scooby Doosaying, "Ruh-roh!"). The story just felt stupid in the long run,especially with all the little side plots going on. Diggs tends to dowhatever he wants as a police dog and is reckless, but he learns theerror of his ways by...doing nothing but that the entire movie? Thenhis owner can't find him even though he's practically right under hisnose the entire time. Most of the material with human interaction justmakes you want to stab yourself in the face with whatever you can getyour hands on to keep yourself from having to sit through thismonstrosity of a movie any longer. It's a lot like Barney the purpledinosaur if he was replaced with CG cats and dogs; just awful, "smashme in the face with a cinder block to end this madness," cutesy,garbage.Lastly, this movie references a lot of movies you know and probablylove. The down side is that it feels like sacrilege rather than a shoutout to great films. There are countless references to the James Bondfranchise; Paws and Kitty Galore illustrate that point fairly well.Everything from Mission: Impossible to Batman to Silence of the Lambsand Terminator. The Batman and Terminator references are low blows, butthe Silence of the Lambs one is the worst mostly because it lastslonger than any of the others. Think of those terrible spoof movieslike Date Movie and Epic Movie with a slight "we're trying to make thisas adorable as possible by shoving it down your throat" edge.Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is quite possibly the mostpainful movie watching experience I've ever had the displeasure ofsitting through. Jokes are lame and corny, dialogue feels forced andoveracted, popular movie references tarnish the reputation those moviesmade on society instead of paying homage to them, and the storylinewalks a thin line between simple and ludicrous which results in aproduct that isn't even halfway entertaining. It'd be more appropriateto rate this movie in the amount of times you'll actually groanverbally throughout the movie's duration. It might be fun for childrenwho haven't developed the ability to distinguish a pile of steamyexcrement and something that is actually entertaining and it may beamusing to your pet since my dog seemed to enjoy it, but if you haveany sort of expectations or qualifications for what a good film shouldbe then you are going to hate this movie or you'll be smart enough tostay away from it forever.

Entertaining for the family, fun for the spy/cop movie fan
"Cats & Dogs": the idea of the original movie (which I haven't stillseen, but I will) didn't appeal me 10 years ago. But then, 10 years agoI had no kids, and when they seemed really interested in this 3D actionflick about cats and dogs fighting and teaming up to save the world...well, I decided. That there was a 3D-animation/3D-projection Roadrunnershort before it finally tipped the scales towards going.And I'm not sorry. It's not a very smart movie and the dialog is quitesimple (OK, the dove character and some of the supporting cast is plainboring), but it worked great as a family movie: the kids (specially the4 years one, who loved "Toy Story 3") liked the plot and followed itquite all the time without need of much explaining, and the parentsliked the sometimes blatant, sometimes more silently reference tomovies and sagas, from Bond's (it's really Shirley Bassey at theopening credits!) to "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", "Men in Black" oreven Burton's "Batman". The middle part was a bit slow (both in the CGIan plot advancement departments) and the main character development wasscarce, by any means; much more interesting was his kitty companion andthe misadventures of both the villain and his mouse.All in all, recommended as a light family film or as a cop & spy spoof(if you want the spoof not to be as offensive to the original materialas the Scary/Date/Disaster/Superhero Movie sagas.

So-so movie
OK I understand desperate reviews with recommendations to see Inceptionand leave the kids but this movie is for specific kind ofaudience:kids. This movie is not my sort of movies but I went for itbecause I like 3D. this movie isn't so big crap. It is bitdisappointing because from big expectations you can still think that itcould be better . This movie is not some critic movie . It is more forentertainment . people won't care because it was put on Bottom 100 butstill I think that it is solid and definitely not for that kind of list. Through movie's boring parts there is always some joke which willimprove atmosphere . I still think that Seamus was definitely great .Now,movie suffers from pity prototype and it is falling down justbecause it had to follow some kind of "rules". 3D scenes were not sounderstanding . But I like this movie because I don't have someprejudices to kid's movies . It is less of intense but still i like it. I understand Inception audience . I like Inception very much.

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
When I heard that there was a sequel to atrocious Cats & Dogs I wasthinking to myself why do they bother making follow ups to films thatare clearly awful, but I heard it had some positive opinions, so I gaveit a chance. Basically in the world where cats and dogs are enemies,most (not all) cats wanting to take over the world, and many dogs asthe secret agents defeating them. One particular German Shepherd policedog Diggs (Enchanted's James Marsden), owned by his cop master Shane(Chris O'Donnell), is recruited by dog Butch (Nick Nolte) to helpdefeat a new threat to the world. Furless cat Kitty Galore (BetteMidler) is planning to take over the world, and after meeting felinesecret agent Catherine (Anchorman's Christina Applegate) who works forMEOWS (Mousers Enforcing Our World Safety), it looks like the good catsand dogs will have to work together. Kitty, once known as IvonnaClawyou used to work for the cat organisation as an agent, but wentrogue after losing her fur and being rejected by her original owners,and she has a plan to brainwash all the dogs in the world to attackwithout though or reason. With a little help from the first film'ssuper villain Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes) locked up in the secret cell inAlcatraz, they find out that Kitty is going to use a satellite in orderto do this, but the mission is to find out where from. Eventually theyfind out that a fairground ride is where the satellite will beactivated, and in the end the hero cats and dogs save the day, only tosee the next mission coming up with the escape of Mr. Tinkles. Alsostarring Katt Williams as Seamus, Neil Patrick Harris as Lou, MichaelClarke Duncan as Sam, Joe Pantoliano as Peek, Sir Roger Moore as TabLazenby, Wallace Shawn as Calico, Rat Race's Paul Rodriguez as CrazyCarlito, Rugrats' Elizabeth Daily as Scrumptious / Patches /Catherine's Niece, Futurama's Phil LaMarr as Paws / Cat Spy Analyst,Scream's Roger Jackson as Inmate Fat Cat and Spirder-Man's J.K. Simmonsas Gruff K-9. The voice casting works very well, Marsden making alikable dog hero, and Midler indeed nearly stealing the show as thedevilishly raspy voiced villain cat, and the computer animation iscertainly improved. I think besides these two attributes, what hasimproved is the story, taking a lot of ideas from James Bond, and ofcourse spoofing the films, casting Moore as the feline M was a greatidea, and there are also some actually really funny spoofs of TheSilence of the Lambs, The Fly, The Terminator and Batman, so a muchbetter part-animated comedy fantasy sequel. Worth watching!

This Movie Is Wonderful Entertainment!
My husband and I LOVED this movie. We don't have children but we can say as adults that we were laughing just as much as the kids were at the movies. It's just light, silly fun and adorable cats and dogs with a little adventure and mystery thrown in. Can't wait to see it again.

Good Sequel
This review is from: Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (DVD) Sometimes the sequel just doesn't add up. Either they get corny or they run out of ammo and go romantic, adding kids out of nowhere. Well, this one did not do that. The plot is a little silly but it is a kiddie movie. Even with silly plot, it's pretty funny and stays true to the original. I enjoyed it over all and the children loved it.

Avoid at all costs
I ended up seeing this film twice in the theaters. More on that in aminute.This film made me realize, after seeing Beverly Hills Chihuaha, andMarmaduke, that "talking animal movies" is a sign of poor poor qualityin films. They know that kids, and their parents, will be willing topay and suffer through almost anything if it has a cute wise-crackingdog or cat character.This movie sets a new standard for the worst of a genre, however. Itreally has nothing to do with the first film, and has a number of datedJames Bond based gags that just fall flat. Some great talent went intothe voices here, but those actors and actresses (I'm talking to you,Bette Midler and William Macy) should be ashamed of themselves.

For everyone who loves cats & dogs
James Marsden one of the stars of this movie hosts the Oscars this year- I wonder if anyone will make note of this - one of his lessercredits. Other stars helping out are Bette Midler as Kitty Galore &Nick Nolte as Butch - they really do put their all into it. There aremany other famous humans involved - the only character that jarred me alittle was the pigeon Sheamus who spoke ghetto throughout. O and did Imention that Chris O'Donnell looks smoking hot as a cop. All in all afunny movie certainly a pleasant escape movie for a rainy day. Did theyreally spend 85 million on this? O well I guess that means there won'tbe any more sequels

The best movie yet!
I rented this movie for New Year's Eve so that we wouldn't have to watch the boring shows for New Year. Totally lame shows. So we got Egg Nog Ice Cream and sat down on the couch and watched the movie. Well it was a total hit! I couldn't decide which was my favorite character. My wife said that Kitty Galore was the ugliest cat ever but I thought she was cute as a button. Don't worry she isn't a tiny button, it's just an expression! Anyway... I loved this movie and my family adored it. The best movie that I ever saw!

For the under 10 set only, all others will be bored.
I've seen the original and those who think this is an improvement areon something. While the original was cute and did manage to entertain,this sequel does not. They try and cram as much CGI and silly dialogas possible in this movie including a rather useless magician characterand a pigeon that I wanted to skewer just to shut it up. I barely heardeven a laugh or giggle in the audience except for the few under 10 setkids and even they looked bored after-wards. The plot involving a neglected cat aka Kitty Galore is so silly andridiculous even by kiddie standards. The cat who was a member of somespy group of cats called MEOWS(the counterpart to the dogs spy groupthat protects humans)she turns rogue and decides to take it out onhumans since she was neglected by her human owners after she lost herfur in an accident while being chased by a guard dog.So she collectscomputer parts and starts making a device to turn dogs into rabidanimals which will force humans to put them in cages and then she andher cat minions will enslave mankind. It's even insulting to kids tosit through this drivel. Some of the dialog even tries to cater toolder kids/adults but it fails miserably. Bette Midler tries her bestto ham it up as Kitty Galore but her voice-over is nothing more thanoveracted camp that's painfully unfunny. I think this movie should have been a direct to DVD release-it didn'tdeserve the big screen treatment. It still amazes me how much money isspent on movies such as these when other movies that are way better andhave a small budget get the direct to TV or DVD treatment. Bomb 1/10

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010, G)
Well, the official website for "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of KittyGalore" has a paw for a mouse pointer, the movie uses most every lazypun possible about pets, and a reviewer has already claimed the moviemarks the end of civilization as we know it. With such prospects, afilm about talking cats and dogs coming together to fight off KittyGalore (voiced by Bette Midler) doesn't eye well for adults. And itdoesn't. Any mathematicians in the theater can better spend their timetracking the noticeable upward curve of boredom and silliness thelonger the movie runs (the pet gags during the end credits don'tcount).Aren't kids movies like this supposed to be funny despite theirabsurdity? It took 9 years to bring this sequel of "Cats & Dogs" to thetheaters, which gave it plenty of time to spread a wide umbrella forbig name voices. Nick Nolte's deep scratchy voice took to the endcredits to figure out, but it stands out in his role as a scrappymentor dog, Butch, the muscle of a secret agency run bysemi-intelligent talking dogs.We learn that dogs have an underground spy organization where no humanhas ever entered, appropriately outfitted with hi-tech gadgets in theBond tradition and specially tailored for dog clichés. Cats have asimilar underground facility for their secret organization, namedMEOWS. The first pet puns are quirky and tone setting, but after thethird or fourth - and when combined with lame cultural references(including Hannibal Lecter and who knows what else) - it becomestorture.The main character is a German shepherd police dog named Diggs (JamesMarsden), who joins a band of unlikely heroes to try to protect humansagainst Kitty Galore. Diggs follows the 'Dirty Harry' template of theends justifies his means, that is, he causes havoc while taking down amadman and tends to set off fiery explosions in the process. So, ofcourse, he's recruited by Butch (Nick Nolte) to join the secret dogorganization. Diggs and Butch reluctantly join teams with a top kittyagent, Catherine (Christina Applegate), from MEOWs. Along for the rideis a pea brained pigeon, Seamus (Katt Williams), to provide comicrelief.The plot is adequately thin and senseless. They battle against KittyGalore (voiced by Bette Midler), a hairless Sphinx cat, who plans toenslave humans and take over the world. Her plan is to use malevolentsound waves, from a weapon called "The Call of the Wild" (by the way),at an ultra low frequency (just for dogs) to trigger all dogs toviolently rebel against humans. Humans will have to lock them all inkennels. But the movie forgets to mention how Kitty Galore intends toconquer humans. Will she change the frequencies and use the weapon onus? She doesn't specify, but perhaps she could change to an appropriatefrequency to trigger our caveman impulses, or something.Kitty Galore is funny as she reluctantly placates her not so magicalmagician owner. She became evil because her previous owners treated herlike a freak and threw her out after she fell into a vat of hairremoval cream (like the Joker from "Batman"). The movie has a coupleother funny moments with a house filled of too-lazy-to-move high cats,and a goofy Calico cat voiced by Wallace Shawn (lampooning his role in"The Princess Bride"). Other stars take part in hopes of success,including Neil Patrick Harris, Roger Moore, and Joe Pantoliano, but itdoesn't help much.Some of the most effective scenes are ones where pets give normal petreactions. The audience actually responded to Diggs whimpering as hewas locked in his cage by his former cop partner, played by ChrisO'Donnell (in one of the few human roles). The pets only pretend to actnormal around humans, but on occasion a little girl stumbles on themtalking. She's amazed, no one believes her, and the pets resort toclichés (butt sniffing for dogs).That's it. Most of the other jokes are dull. The movie becomes so lazy,any action is just meaningless and boring. The movie uses a mix of liveaction animals, puppetry, and computer animation to bring the pets tolife. The CGI mouths attempt to make such absurdity seem real, but whocares when what they say isn't funny or interesting. The 3D wasn't verynoticeable at all.

A very cute, but non serious movie.
I'm 57, the wife is 54, no kids or grandkids.Frankly we thought the movie was really enjoyable, but we tried to seeit through the eyes of innocence. There were some parts I actually gota laugh out of, even at my age. I loved the part where it was announcedto congratulate a dog on his son, son, daughter, daughter, son,daughter.....just one of those clever parts that you have to payattention to catch.I loved the opening credits and Shirley Bassey theme, straight fromJames Bond and very clever.Sometimes we need a change from the movies we watch. Movies are so muchmore than cutting up teenagers in slasher movies, or great Americanmovies like Platoon where a young girl is raped by Americans, or thegreat Spielberg in his Saving Private Ryan where American soldiersshoot German soldiers who are trying to surrender. No, there wasn't any'f' bombs, nobody was in a nude scene, nobody was decapitated, nobodycheated on their spouses. You know the types of movies adults enjoy.Yes, there are times I wish to watch a racy movie or a war movie,however this was not one of those times. The wife and I desired a cutemovie that anybody of any age could watch, and this movie was one ofthose.Real quickly, I fell asleep during the original Cats and Dogs, but thismovie hooked me from the first and wouldn't let me off the hook. Theoriginal lost me in the first 10 minutes.

Furry Enemies Become Furry Allies
"Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" is harmless and innocent. It doesn't tell much of a story, but it certainly has plenty of special effects for younger audiences to gawk at, especially since just about all of them involve the titular house pets. It is, of course, the sequel to the 2001 hit "Cats & Dogs," which was founded on the premise that cats and dogs have been at war with each other for centuries; the fight continues, although I seriously doubt that the story has progressed in real time, since the characters from the first film - many full grown - would in all likelihood already be in doggie or kitty heaven after the passage of nine years. But no, let's not get into that. Let's pretend that these super intelligent pets, some of them scientists, have developed some sort of a life-extending potion.Just like in the first movie, the animals have the ability to speak when not in the presence of humans. This is made possible through a number of cinematic tricks, such as compositing computer generated mouths onto the heads of real animals, building entire animals digitally, or constructing articulated puppets and animatronic figures. They're also given a number of super cool spy gadgets, many of them even more interesting than anything James Bond has embedded in his cufflinks. So much effort was put into bringing these animals to life that it's easy to understand why virtually no time is spent on human characters. The trade off is that virtually no time is spent on a plot - at least, not a plot that anyone, children least of all, would bother caring about.It begins with a German Shepherd police dog named Diggs (voiced by James Marsden), who, because of his inability to follow orders, is placed back into the station kennel. From out of nowhere comes Butch, our Anatolian Shepherd hero from the first film (voiced by Nick Nolte, replacing Alec Baldwin); he brings Diggs to Dogs HQ - a massive dog bowl-shaped underground structure with miles of transportation tubing branching off in all directions - where he's recruited on a mission to save the world from the nefarious Kitty Galore, a rogue hairless Sphinx cat (voiced by Bette Midler). Her evil scheme: Use an orbiting satellite to make all dogs on the planet go mad, thus ending their reign as Man's Best Friend and forever securing cats as the dominant house pet. This, in turn, would enable cats to enslave humanity.Because the lives of humans are at stake, Kitty Galore is also pursued by Catherine (voiced by Christina Applegate), a gray cat for a feline spy network known as M.E.O.W. When she crosses paths with Diggs and Butch, things don't go smoothly. Remember, they're cats and dogs - they hate each other on general principles. But then they come to startling realization: If Kitty Galore is to be stopped, cats and dogs will have to work together. Perhaps this movie was made as an elementary school introduction to racism. Honestly, why do cats and dogs hate each other so much? I have a dream that one day, my pets will grow up in a world where they will not be judged by their species and breed but by the content of their character.Other characters, such as a clueless pigeon (voiced by Katt Williams) and the bow tie-wearing head of M.E.O.W. (voiced by Roger Moore) make their way into the story, as does Lou, returning from the first film as the head of Dog HQ (voice by Neil Patrick Harris, replacing Tobey Maguire). There's also a brief scene with old nemesis Mr. Tinkles (voiced by Sean Hayes), trussed up and muzzled like Hannibal Lecter in Alcatraz; apparently, it's still a working prison when it comes to cats.Meanwhile, Diggs' human partner, Shane (Chris O'Donnell), desperately searches for his canine companion. One wonders why, since it's mentioned that he has a wife and a newborn baby; the last time I checked, your immediate family was more important than a rookie dog cop. One also wonders why Shane was even included. You can count on one hand the number of times he appears in this movie. The same can be said for Kitty Galore's owner, a tacky carnival magician (Jack McBrayer), who serves no real purpose other than to act goofy and make Kitty's life miserable. He's disposable comedy relief, and that's about it. I don't know - it seems to me that, if you're going to include human characters, you should actually do something with them. They should work with the plot and not in spite of it. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of the title's first three words, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.I've described the plot, but I really have no angle of approach here, except to say that this movie confirmed what I've suspected for years: Catnip is the feline equivalent of marijuana. Oh, and it's in 3-D. In order to see it that way, of course, you have to be willing to pay extra at the box office and to wear uncomfortable glasses the entire time. Can we all agree that, while sometimes it works beautifully, it's generally an overhyped, overused marketing gimmick that doesn't much enhance the experience? What happened to the days of watching a perfectly good flat image? I've praised certain 3-D films, but I'm rapidly growing weary of the process. I'm sure the kids will enjoy it, as they will enjoy all the fun visual effects saturating the screen. Bottom line: "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" didn't do much for me, but it's adequate for the age group it's intended for.

3rd Graders Give it a Thumbs Up
This review is from: Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (Amazon Instant Video) Whatever they are doing with these types of movies, we need more of them to entertain the ones that are a little big for the cartoons, but a little young for the latest Harry Potter flick. My third grader and his friends loved this one!

The Pigeon was Hilarious... watch it for pigeon but on T.V or DVD.
CATS & DOGS: REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE Â CATCH IT ( C+ ) Well, Cats andDogs 2 is quite silly but to be honest I had fun time watching it. It'sfor kids so you have to watch from their point of view, this time thereare hardly any human characters, Chris O'Donnell is barely for totally10 minutes screen time. The most funny moments are provided by thepigeon, Oh my God the pigeon was Hilarious, I was laughing my A** Off.The other funny creature has to be the white mouse owned by KittyGalore, it was funny. Though, movie has staggering $85,000,000 budget,which doesn't show on the screen, sadly. Still, watch for once forwatch it for pigeon but on T.V or DVD.its only 82 minutes long.

Why did this movie fail critically
This movie is nowhere nere as good as the first cats and dogs but it isfunny and entertaining. one thing that this movie completely fails atis heavily relying on CGI granted some animals are animotronics andreal animals the whole thing is just a whole fake mess. another thingis lame jokes but i expect it in a kids movie. other then that SeanHayes returns to play Mr. tinkles and is funny as always. so i wouldrecommend you see this movie.1hr 22min/82min Rated PG for animal action and humor **1/2/****
