I just watched for the first time in years, and I liked it as a kid. As a [Young adult] I have a more mature perspective. 1. The Animation. Anything on the ground is perfectly fine. But when characters are in the air, things get a bit... Iffy. There's almost no gravity. Also, this is basically the Matrix Anime [hair] in CGI with wolves. AND A CRAP TON OF FLIPS. 2. The performances. Surprisingly not bad. But Justin Long really holds himself back. He talks quietly, screams quietly, and has some iffy delivery. Actually, there's quite a few cringy moments because of the delivery (And wolves on 2 feet/paws. Trust me, it's odd) 3. The score. Surprisingly competent. There's one track in particular that belongs in a better movie (But kind of a ripoff of the Disney logo theme). But the characters have motivations and some depth. In fact, literally NO ONE in this movie is evil. Everyone has good intentions, even if they're jerks. That's nice to see in an Animated Movie about talking animals. Kids will definitely like this movie. Adults on the other hand.............. Well, certain people will hate it. Certain people will be entertained. I'm one of them. The plot is actually quite original. Well, I mean, I didn't see EVERY MOVIE EVER MADE, but I can tell that the plot is not stolen, or copied. I mean, there are certain copied elements, but that's it. 1 last thing to say. If you liked Open Season, or Ice Age 3, You might enjoy this film. I'm a part of that group.
Is it underrated? Hard to say.
