Ratings and reviews

I know everyone's going its a kids movie but there has to be a quality control! This movie had bad story and weak dialogue and it was completely unpredictable. I would pay as much as $10 to NOT see this. I'm sorry Disney but it took you 2 years to think of and animate THIS?! And why did you do a sequel? I knew the movie did good but you can't just do sequels whenever you want! Just saying some people would like a REAL movie other than this.

I feel like all the adults with the negative reviews either don't have kids or forgot this movie is for kids with some fun moments thrown in for the adults. Sure, it's not as great as Cars. But few movies have achieved what that film did since. All in all, my boys loved it. I had a few laughs. There wasn't anything questionable or objectionable that would cause concern. What more could you ask for? It kept a reasonable pace - the kids didn't get bored and memorable kids characters.

Even though the plot was dramatic in subject and involved firefighting which is dangerous there was little actual drama (or comedy) in this movie. My kiddo stopped watching it after about 30 minutes. The fire threatens a lavish resort that the antagonist stole money to build, who cares if it goes up in flames? There's no real love story, no real buddy story, nothing of interest.
