Bad. It took us two sittings to watch the whole thing, because it feels like it goes on for about 4 hours. My kids were confused by the references to drinking (Charles Darwin/ Darwin’s grandson and his captain take a swig from a flask). Several times we all said, “I have no idea what is happening.” At the end, it appears that a flommel (flummel?) cross-breeds with a dodo bird, and as their child is hatching from a donut-shaped egg, the movie cuts to black, and the credits begin with a picture of them eating a donut. It seriously looks like they’re eating the dodo-flommel baby. Two starts for originality, and since we made it through the whole thing, eventually.
