It's alright, definitely not as good as Leafy: a hen into the wild- doesn't come close to it.
One thing that annoyed me in particular is how Alex is upset about his stuffed otter getting left behind, and explains to another character how his owner gave it to him.... And then goes on to specify it was from leafy: a hen into the wild. It was a bit on the nose.
The movie is strongest when it gets dark, other than that the beginning of the movie dragged and struggled to hold my attention, I was only interested when the puppy mill idea was introduced.
A good message is in here, but I probably won't rewatch it.

Huh
Amazing movie, but maybe not entirely "suited for all ages".
This movie was a trip. It started off with a seemingly innocent, yet sad plot, but from the moment I watched a injured dog be thrown from a vehicle and then soon die I knew that this movie may not be the best for young children. I adored this movie, and would recommend it to anyone, but be aware that this movie WILL scar your children! I had no idea just how graphic this movie really was, it was simply divine. Inspiring, diverse, romantic, horrific, brutal, heartbreaking, delightful.
Expected a dumb kids' movie - pleasantly surprised it wasn't.
I'm a grown man but a sucker for animated talking animal stories. The target audience for these types of movies is children of course, but I decided to watch anyway, hoping it could at least keep my attention. Several times during the movie I said to myself "oh that's not for kids" which, while not going too far, were really just things the North American audience isn't used to seeing in an animated film. The story felt more "real" than the movies we usually see. And for that, I was thankful. It did hold my attention. It did not insult me as an adult viewer. It was cute, and funny, and serious, and the animation was excellent. What it did do was entertain me, like a movie should. Very happy I chose to watch this one!
