Oh my. Now I get I'm not the primary target audience of a film like this. It's squarely aimed at younger kids, but that doesn't mean there can't at least be a little quality in there. There isn't none here. It's cheap, lazy, and annoying from start to finish, but I will say the film does commit to its nonsense, which kept me from dishing out an even lower score.

So dogs are supposed to be the good guys here, but they're made to sound like a very conservative status quo species. Not that it matters much. The talking animals are dreadful, the CG is poorly done, and the live-action shots are dire. But the plot does get pretty insane, which offered at least some laughs. Sadly, it wasn't enough to save this film.
