I used to love this cartoon when I was a kid, along with Rocky & Bullwinkle and Fractured Fairy Tales, so I was excited to see this movie which opened last week, but I was also a little worried they would ruin it.
Review? Very likeable, and many gags that adults will like a lot. Downside, since this was a movie instead of a 10 minute short, they had to expand on the characters and so some of the charm is missing. Sort of like what Jim Carrey did to the Grinch, humanized him too much.

Rocky & Bullwinkle was one of my earliest favorites! I think hubby is planning on taking the kids this weekend, I'll post their review if they do indeed go. I'm glad to hear that you mostly liked it FH. You just never know how well the writers will do with characters - I remember, like many others, wondering how they were going to make a South Park episode last a full-length movie and keep interest in Jay and Silent Bob with them as the lead characters rather than minor comedy relief, and both worked out tremendously well.
Pink Panther...meh.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
