I wasn’t so thrilled about watching it even though I mentioned it to my kids for movie night browsing the web for recommendations. At that time I didn’t know about the negative side. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the movie. It was cute, funny, and enjoyable for all ages. My 8yo and 5yo loved it. I hope the press isn’t true about animals having been harmed. ☹️ There were questionable scenes using real animals where they were visibly in distress. I wouldn’t have wanted my animal part of this movie. As an animal lover this tears me in two. Without the negative side I’d rate it 4 or 5 stars. Knowing what I do now about the abuse I’d say don’t support it and watch something else.
