Review: When I saw the trailer for this film I thought it looked great. After seeing it a few times I started to change my mind. It started looking just like every other animated film that was out. When I sat down to watch it, I was treated to something more.

This movie was just fun. When it started I had some issues with the animation. It just seemed like there was something wrong with it. The characters looked strange and fake. After sticking with it, I realized they were perfect for this story. The storyline is more original than anything in a long time. It was funny, but more than anything it was just a good time. The voice acting was great and all the voices fit perfectly. I even found myself not wanting to leave the room, because I wanted to see what the house would do next. This is a great movie for the family and I recommend it.
