Author's Review
One of the best movies we've seen in the toddler/ small child (5-8 years old) category. We bought this, and Toy Story, on eBay prior to a road trip to Disney world. We weren't sure either of our kids would like it (both boys, ages 2 1/2 and 5 1/2), but they certainly did! Our kids managed to watch it twice going down and three times coming back. In fact, they're watching it as I type...
While the movie contains your basic good vs. evil/ underdog vs. favored, the plot still works. MJ, and all of the cameos from today's NBA stars (?) do an admirable job, but the cartoon characters steal the show. Interestingly, our family believes that the music is more impressive than the movie. Maybe I should say that the music augments the action, and vice versa.
For those of you sensitive to bad words, as we are, let me state that I only recall hearing one "bad" word. Somewhere, someone says "What the He!!". I can't recall any other instances of profanity, suggestive situations, etc.
All in all, a film your entire family will love, especially if they're sports nuts like ours. Go ahead and pay the extra bucks for the DVD 'cause the VHS tape will wear out...
