        It's not terrible, it's an entertaining family comedy and probably the best disney have made with some guy and some huskies.

        A wonderful family film. Cuba Gooding Jr. was hilarious as Ted Brooks & Sisqo who played Rupert was hilarious as well. I also enjoyed Nichelle Nichols (Amelia Brooks) & Joanna Bacalso (Barb). Of course I loved the Michael Bolton cameo because I love the song Jack Sparrow & he's awesome in it. Such a great movie and another adorable walt disney pictures classic.
