DD really wants to go see this movie, and DH is planning to take her this Saturday. Has anyone seen it yet? How was it? Does it have a lot of "potty" humor in it? TIA!

we went on Friday and we ended up leaving about an hour into it. Dh said that it was just a drawn out story. It didn't keep the kids' attention at all. I was ready to leave about 25 mins after it started. I was really looking forward to the movie. I even made both kids a "robots' shirt to wear but it just didn't "do it" for us.
It did have it's cute parts but there just wasn't enough there to keep us interested.

Thanks Marion! I was debating whether to take our two younger boys, but that answers that. I think I would rather go to this IMAX film Aliens of the Deep that I think DD would really like so maybe I'll try to convince her that it would be a better choice.

My three oldest (5.5, 4, and 2.5) loved it, but the story line is pretty involved. The potty humor was a lot less than in other recent cartoons. Comparable to that in the Incredibles, except for one scene about farting.

I love this website for movie reviews:

They tell you every tiny thing that could possibly be offensive.

We went to see it this weekend. My 4-next-month yo and 6.5 yo were both really into it and enjoyed it very much. I didn't think it had a lot of potty humor, a lot less than shrek and the like. I really liked that it wasn't action packed and had a drawn out plot, so to each their own.

My kids liked it. I have a 4yr old and a almost 7yr. old.

I have a 2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old.. the 2 year old napped through part of it, but saw the beginning and the end and was fascinated.. the 3 1/2 year old loved it, but when she thought the "good" robots were going to be melted down, she burst into tears and I thought I was going to have to take her out.. she said that part was too scary.

I wasn't impressed with it... but then again, I didn't expect to be, and I wasn't going for *me* anyway

my kids enjoyed it, i liked it too.. it wasnt too scary or have too much potty mouth phrases. It was about never giving up on your dreams.. you can do it type movie.

I would buy it when it comes out on dvd.
