My rating: 7.5/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
This movie is absolutely adorable! The tagline doesn't lie. It's unique, funny, fascinating and loads of fun. What they got these birds to do is often remarkable. And everything is funny when you've got animals dressed and acting like humans. That's one of the laws of nature or something like that. Proven fact! Science is amazing! Hahahahahaha. Anyway, this picture is short (60 minutes), quickly paced, loaded with silly bird puns and a great sense of humor. The only downside is that the print, while in gorgeous color, isn't that great. I'd love to watch this again someday with a sparkling remastered print.
