In the newer ads with "critics" saying things like "stunning", "The best animated feature of the year" etc. Here's something interesting about all of the praises in the ad. It's all from ONE Critic!!!!! Also, this critic is one that usally overhypes any Disney film.

Originally Posted By Shadow wolf Well, I just saw it and boy did it bomb. (In a bad way) CG is nice but the story is muddled and strays off,soundtrack is weak and with the humor. There were some funny parts but way too many unfunny jokes. I know this is not a Madagascar rip off and this was in thought 9 years ago but this is what you able to come up with?!

Like many who have shelled this movie, this movie was like Madagasacar. The only local or national talk was that Don Cherry was the mc of the curling match. The Cars trailer was good.
Originally Posted By Shadow wolf Oy, opening weekend and it only pulled in $9,559,000, and the film was $80Mil. OUCH!
