Okay, the CGI is cool, the kids are watchable, the "moral of the story" -- so far as there is one -- is laudable. But this is the most unsatisfying, did-continuous, unlikely, implausible filmed fantasy I have seen in a long time. I would not let any children watch it because they might actually think some of it makes sense, which would handicap the development of their critical intelligence forever. ( )
