One of the greatest films ever!

I liked all of it because it was funny.
My favourite character was Rover and
the best bit was when Chuck landed on the
planet 51.

Looks great, fab soundtrack... looks like it has everything going for it. But it\'s just not that funny. A big disappointment.
Pretty cute

Good fun and very light hearted - which makes a change. Nice to watch an animation which didn't try to make me cry in the middle of it.
The two "dogs" steal the show - now I know what I want for christmas. The postman scene is fab.
Took two 8 year olds (boy and girl) and they thought it was great.
Excellent Sunday afternoon cinema.
