I can't be the only person who loved this film, can I? Nearly every review of it online is scathing at best. 
Speak up if you liked it!

I didn't catch much advertising for this G-rated CGI film last February, but it was out in theaters briefly and then went to video in the US. From what I hear the British version (titled "The Magic Roundabout") is far superior and I'll have to keep an eye out for a copy. The American version was fun but you had a real sense of a better movie lurking behind the overdone cultural references (which already sound dated less than a year later, while this COULD have been a timeless story) and it had so many flatulence jokes it was insulting to the intelligence! Not to sound like a prude but I think movie writers have gotten very lazy in the last ten or fifteen years and have substituted fart jokes for quality writing. You can make kids roll in the aisles of the theater with good humorous scenes but it takes more effort. OK, off my soapbox. Your thoughts on the movie?
