As a kids’ movie, it is great. Fun and full of love. I get the whole “ugly on the outside but beautiful heart” thing. But as an Australian parent, I found it really disturbing that they try to “cutify” some of the most venomous creatures in the world. As any Australian parents would tell their kids, if you see a funnel web, taipan or a thorny devil, run! Especially that they make the funnel web purple (should be black) and taipan blue (any color but blue), it is very concerning what message it would send. Any suggestion that these creatures are “not dangerous” is plainly just wrong! And…one of the girl in the movie hid them in her bag…hence a three star
