It's full of mild goofiness and equally mild messages about believing in yourself. It's all good-natured enough. It just isn't actually good.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The trio learns that heroes come in all sizes, hardly a revelation to audiences of any age.
This is no savvy Toy Story. It's a boilerplate plot like one you might find in any morning cartoon.
I've seen more exciting no-smoking announcements in theaters.
Aside from the fun musical scenes, the script is pretty lackluster, and the animation could generously be described as old-fashioned.
