Tries very hard but much like the theater in the movie, it crumbles into a smoking pile of rubble due to improper construction.
The casting is great and they all perform well, but there is simply so much fluff that no one and no thing is allowed to thrive. There's nothing to care about!
It all blends together into a giant ball of cotton candy. Seriously not a good thing.
Pick any random musical "talent" TV show, animate it, make the characters animals, stuff it full of bland pop songs, turn up the tempo and drown the whole thing in a mountain of sickly sweet sugar... ugh.
Predictable and not exactly inspired, but cute and harmless too. Kids will like it and the parents who are forced to watch it with them could definitely do worse.
John,
I read the article you shared...actually the author kinda nailed it, and I changed my mind (guess it's better be right than coherent...).
Personally I enjoyed it, but it's true that compared with other animation movies it can't stand a chance in terms of plot.
Characters are animals, gathered together in a sing competition, where the destiny of an old theater and its owner mr. Moon (an ever-optimistic koala) are at stake.
These characters give depth and maturity to the movie, unveiling the great spectrum of personalities that orbit around the world of music, each with its bright and dark sides, with ambitions, insecurities and, overall, love for music.

Funnest kids movie I've watched in a whileJohn Milton
Depth, Francesco? Really?I think I mostly agree with David Ehrlich's assessment of the film, even though I did enjoy certain bits of it. Moderately.

A warm animation movie, not just for kids.Characters are animals, gathered together in a sing competition, where the destiny of an old theater and its owner mr. Moon (an ever-optimistic koala) are at stake.
