Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The simplistic drawing is closer to Peanuts than The Lion King, and the dialogue is strangely anachronistic.
A dull and plodding cartoon with barely enough story for a half-hour episode of the TV series.
It all unfolds just about as a grownup might expect, though at a leisurely pace that makes the movie's 72 minutes seem longer.
A good laugh every half-hour or so is not enough for me to recommend this film to anyone who's not a fan of the TV show.
