    It was an okay movie, but not brilliant. The basic storyline (minus the
    robot animal) was a "been there, done that" copy of other movies.

    It was OK. I was 'hopping' for more. They didn't finesse the carnivore
    issue particularly well, a problem for a number of talking animal movies including Wild Robot & Zootopia, and the fact that the researchers had
    been hopping before the protag and totally failed to notice that animals
    are intelligent and can talk strains credulity as did the total sweeping
    under the rug of that fact in the denouement.

    In the article's deleted scene, some of the other researchers are
    animals, so it's likely the movie suffered from too many re-writes and
    simply became something of a confused mess.
