I received this DVD as a gift.  Didn't have any real expectations for it, but my daughters insisted on me watching with them.  Was very pleasantly surprised!  A very entertaining animated movie with more depth than I thought it would have.  Notable voice-over performance by Dustin Hoffman...

This was one of our BB selections last weekend.  Jack Black did a good job as the voice of the Panda and as Phil stated above Dustin Hoffman did a great job also.  It is just a fun little movie.  3 out of 5 stars.

My kids and I enjoyed it as well. It is definitely a worthwhile kids movie. Not quite as good as the classics like Shrek and Toy Story, but fun and satisfying. I think this is a movie that the family will watch more than once.

If you have Lossless audio and 1080p picture capabilities this will quickly become your reference film. Absolutely stunning video and audio  :thumb:

I watched the DVD version last night, and it has some pretty nice bass.
Can't say how good of a movie it was overall since I had a few alcohol related momentary departures from consciousness.  :oops:
But from what I saw it was pretty good.
Dustin Hoffman was the perfect voice for that little rat thingy character, very cool.

My girls enjoyed it, my wife liked it, and I thought it was OK.

Not a ringing endorsement, but no one did not enjoy it.

Quite an enjoyable movie for kids and adults alike. Saw this in the theater last summer and bought it for my 27 year old niece this Christmas. Both she and my sister loved it.

I know I'm late to the party on this...but I had zero expectations for this and I really enjoyed it.

I had less-than-zero expectations for WALL-e, and came away as or slightly more impressed with it.

Best of all, I could watch it without nodding off on either with my 4.5yo :thumb:
