Loved it. Great for kids and parents.
Should be a huge hit this time of year.

Favorite character -- Pigeon Toady. So awkward, and trying so hard for everyone to think he's cool. Guarantee someone you know will come to mind when this guy shows up.

Favorite scene -- fight scene with the penguins (darker penguins than the recent, lovable 'penguin' movies) when everyone is trying to stay quiet, to keep from waking the baby.

I took my boys to it today on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. It had a good family-friendly message and was pretty funny as well. Key and Peele as the Alpha and Beta wolves were great. I was in tears when the wolf pack formed a "wolf bridge" due to the sheer ridiculousness of it.

Also thought it was really good. Disagree about the pigeon being favorite character. I would have enjoyed it more if they dropped him and just did more of everything else.

Interesting. The trailers made it look pretty avoidable.

You're right on that.

EVERY new animated movie that comes out each weekend puts me into algorithm mode -- if the family should spend time and money on the show?

Quite often I'm surprised. Recently with:

The Big Friendly Giant -- some of the best casting I've ever experienced for vocals (and animation was FANTASTIC)
If you liked the Fantastic Fox movie, you'll probably like this (different director, but similar style)

and

Storks -- Just really well produced movies with kids, adolescents, young (single) adults, and parents in mind.
