Grandma bought this disc for our collection, and I innocuously put it in the player one wintry Friday evening for my four children. Being busy doing some cleaning, I find my four year old daughter tugging on my shirt sleeve, tears in her eyes, asking - "You won't die, will you daddy?" <br /> <br />It turns out that the plot of this wonderful 1990's film hinges on an entire town of cute and fuzzy animals being killed by a toxic gas spill. I'm just trying to imagine the discussion to green light this project. <br /> <br />Writer, "So the cute animals go on an adventure after their entire town, everything they know, love and trust, are killed because irresponsible humans cause an awful chemical accident!" <br /> <br />Film Company, "Sounds great, didn't that happen in India during the 1980's?" <br /> <br />Writer, "Yeah, 1984 in Bhopal, it was my inspiration. So, one of the cute animals inhales the gas, so the only living adult, the kids' teacher, sends them out into the wild by themselves to find a cure for the little girl!" <br /> <br />Film Company, "Fantastic, children alone in the dangerous world always sells, maybe we can get Macaulay Culkin for this." <br /> <br />So the point of the story is that tragic accidents can happen that kill your entire family, and your entire town, so your teacher makes you face the danger of predatory animals and human exterminators. If you fail, the little girl dies because you weren't good enough, as a young child, to save her. But in the end, you work together to build a cool flying machine <br /> <br />Both my 6 year old son, and 4 year old daughter were totally freaked out by the flick, having nightmares for up to a week. Maybe they are just too sensitive, but I recommend spending your limited DVD dollars on a different movie. Older kids might like it better, and the message, although very heavy handed of human irresponsibility, is popular in some social circles - so two stars. <br /> <br />
Viewer Reviews
This is a great movie I enjoy watching this movie with my cousins who also enjoyed it. We love the song with the birdss and got wild and crazy over that song. But my younger cousins got kind of scared of the part with the owel but there okay. I think this movie has alot of teaching to get out on your own an take care of yourself thats what these 3 kids had to do in the movie.
GREAT MOVIE
