A whimsical adventure with heart
Are these people serious? Wrong message...
There are problems with acting but not so serious since this is a family movie targeted children. Also there is no special effects that attract children who are used to special effects and fast pace. So what you would expect from a slow movie about obesity; good story and good take home messages about the merits of fitness and health. For this movie, forget everything. This is a story about a obesity, however, instead of making a film against obesity, in the era of obesity, these people preferred to make a film that praise obesity and create an ending that obesity wins over fitness and exercise with lean people were persuaded to eat hot dogs !!! This should be a joke. Especially, families with obese children, you should stay away this title.
Good movie
