Great movie for children My daughter absolutely love this movie and it is one of our favorites

This was the cutest, wholesome family movie I've seen in a long time. First saw it in the library and checked it out for my grandson age 5. He loved it and so did i. Just had to buy it!

Wow, some movies you immediately know who is voicing the critters and it detracts from (or adds to) the enjoyment of the movie. This was not one of those movies. I didn't notice Sheen or any of the voice actors standing out particularly.My kids (boy, girl aged 7 and 8) and I enjoyed this movie. Honestly I was surprised we liked it as much as we did. Very little to no religious angles. Noah is just "a generous guy" who is providing the ark and the Lion (Sheen, I assume?) is mostly in charge. We never see Noah or any humans except in the most minimal ways possible, the Lion is even driving the ark.The story started off stressful and my daughter was worried the two young critters would be lost forever when they miss the ark in the first moments of the movie. (No real spoiler there folks). I assured her that the good guys always win (and hoped it was true in this case) and we watched on...There is a good bit of Deus Ex Machina here and the movie abuses a fairly silly device to explain why the Nestrians weren't originally allowed on the ark in the first place, but if you set aside critical thinking for a moment and just enjoy the movie, it is a reasonably humorous ending and twist. It has a good moral tale in that the Grymps (Grumps?) like to go it alone while the Nestrians like to do things as a team. The team concept, of course, ends up triumphing and it really is a cute story.If you are militantly atheist or agnostic I believe you could let your kids watch this and not be offended. As I mentioned, there is almost no Bible in the story. Ultimately, that is maybe a good thing because even Christians often disagree over details and this way there isn't anything to argue about really, it is just a fun story.I will add that I am somewhat confused about this title and another one called All Creatures Great and Small. I THINK it is the same movie, with the original European voices and this is a hijacked version of that title with Amy Grant and Martin Sheen voicing it over to increase the likelihood of financial success. But I haven't had a chance to confirm that yet. I'm not sure how the two would compare, but my curiousity is piqued now. If I find the other, I'll try to come back and add a comparison.One other note, I do not like movies to shove politics down my kids throats. I detest that and no matter WHICH side it comes from, it irritates me. This movie does not do that... I saw no global warming or other politics in the movie. The flood wasn't cause by man made climate change. It just showed a story of a couple of "kids" in a precarious situation (missed the ark) trying to get back to their parents (and their parents efforts to get back to their kids) without trying to indoctrinate my kids into someone else's worldview, other than the whole "teamwork can be better than going it alone" message.I do reserve 5 stars for movies like Toy Story and Avatar, so for me 4 stars is 8/10 and still a very good rating.

This story cheers me up. Very cute. Has a bit of scary parts for small kids though. When the bats misbehave and try to hurt some of the other animals. I would watch anything before you allow kids to watch.

My children LOVE this Movie. It appears to have many different names but it doesn't matter this is a good wholesome family movie. Being a Christian family this is a nice spin on the story of Noah and the Ark from the animals perspective! It's super cute and not highly religious at all! I highly recommend this movie to anyone with little one! It is very entertaining!

This was a "if you like .... you may like...." recommendation. They were SO right! I LOVE it! I don't know why I'd never heard of it before! It is (loosely) the story of Noah's Ark, but that's as religious as it gets....NOT at all (in fact, evolution plays a big part). SO fun!

Will buy again

My grandchildren love this movie! We have watched it every Friday since I bought it. They find it very interesting! It holds their attention! My grandson , who is 6 years old, likes it becuse it is about God!
