En route, the stars encounter bad weather, life-threatening situations, and even potential mates.

A good one for not-too-choosy animal lovers, and small kids.

Granted this is a film aimed at the younger set, say ages 3-6, but still I would have hoped for more.

Cuteness, cuteness and more cuteness - but not cute enough.

Nothing like watching cute animals getting killed on screen by Japanese for American kicks. Still, first movie I ever cried in. I soothed myself by saying it was movie tricks, but upon re-watching they totally just freaking slaughtered lots and lots of puppies and kitties.

1. Narrator: The noise upstairs didn't disturb the dogs that slept in the barn. They could sleep through anything. But a lot of the other animals were awakened by all the scurrying overhead. Some of them just accepted it... some were pretty annoyed... and a few quietly plotted revenge.
