Review
I don't get it. The animals talk? Admittedly the amount of specialized animal lip-synch wrangling is truly impressive, but that doesn't excuse the fact that they have nothing particularly profound to say. A movie in which animals talk could have been fascinating. For instance, what is a cat really thinking about when he's staring out the window? Instead, this movie seems to imply that animals only think about sex and drugs. Duh. I'd like to see Eddie Murphy do something where he played a guy from the renaissance, though.
