While not actively offensive (as some kids' movies can be), this movie is just uninteresting. There are no engaging characters, no original plot, nothing at all that recommends it. I can't even really remember any of the jokes from it, so I can't tell you if kids will find this funny. There's a lot of sudden destruction at the end of the movie, which seemed inappropriate for the age range they were reaching (really, they blew up ALL the hunters' trucks with giant fireballs? And that's okay?) and the villain is so over-the-top that it seems more like a tragic portrayal of an extremely delusional man rather than, say, an Elmer Fudd kind of obsessive character. Nothing very entertaining here. 1 star.
Best Part: When the porcupine finds out the bear can't protect her, she trudges back into the woods and says sadly, "No more me." The only laugh the movie got out of me.
Worst Part: Elliot's lullaby, which includes a gas joke AND a pee joke. Classy stuff.
