Setting/Aesthetic/Feel: 3/5

There was definitely a prairie/Wild West/farm feel, which was quite nice. I'm not a fan of over-bright animations but I didn't mind this too much. Also, watching characters cross the country always makes me wanna travel so badly!!


Characters: 3/5

The characters were pretty one-dimensional and shallow. Emmett was way too clumsy at first. But I guess for a kids' film they were okay. 


Plot: 3/5

Some stuff was wildly inaccurate, but overall it was a fun, simply film with some quite funny moments. Even the inaccurate stuff was quite amusing. I enjoyed watching the vacation and the search for the animals, and the climax was enjoyable... yeah, overall, it was a fun film. 


Theme/Message/Topics: 4/5

I enjoyed the message of believing in yourself and trying new things over and over. 


Content: 4/5 (low)

Possibly some mild euphemisms.


Overall: 3/5

Not the greatest kids' film or the best George movie, but it was a fun time well spent with my siblings.
