I saw this today with my work, and the theatre was completely packed! I'd say, about 80% children under 9. So, I had to realize what environment I was in to understand why the audience roared/squealed with laughter when someone just slipped and fell. But, I digress...
This movie was VERY cute and perfect for children. It was heart-warming and funny for kids. If you need to take them out for a movie, this one is decent. There are a few more subtle jokes for the adults (dead-pan of children's interests, old film spoofing, ETC) but it's a movie MADE for children. Nothing really more.
It's not a horrible movie, and I would give it a "B-" but there's just not enough originality, I think. But, like I said, if you have small children that want to see it, it's pretty enjoyable.
