For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This is one of Disney's finest efforts. It shows just how incredibly diverse and compelling this planet we inhabit truly is and the camera work is atounding! Of course, as is the Mouse's nature, it is not in print. The best one can manage is that it runs from time to time on the Disney Channel during "Vault Disney" in the wee hours. It is most decidedly worth seeing. There are more things in heaven and on Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. How true! Recommended!
