This movie is entertaining.
A great selection for child audiences with stellar animation and coloring. The film has a creative story, told with likable characters. The animals have unique and interesting designs and are portrayed by a great voice cast. The animation also has a charming stylized look that would never be seen from studios such as Disney.
Unfortunately, this film has it's faults.
The pacing is just way too fast. This was definitely on purpose (going for a 'His Girl Friday' vibe appropriate for the time period), however, at times it makes the dialogue hard to follow. Everything is happening at once. The movie is just too chaotic. This pace that they move in shortens the picture to about an hour and a half, including opening and closing credits.
The film definitely could have been longer if they took their time to tell the story. They also could have added more exposition to the movie, giving the characters more depth, which they greatly deserved.
