Review: Looking for an easy-to-watch animated film, I selected this Dreamworks production. It disturbed me a little that all characters speak English, and that no mention is made of the massacre of the local population by the conquistadors. But OK, this is a movie for children and this is almost the only thing it is: I was disappointed that there is no second level of meaning so that adults could enjoy it differently. The movie is nicely done (I am sure kids love it) and a good mix of adventure, humour and animal action, but I will quickly forget it.
Rating: 5 /10
