There wasn't a single positive minded person working on this movie! The entire movie is utterly depressing with everyone telling this poor Jeep that he can't fly in different derogatory ways. My son watches it three times a day and it gets more painful every time, I think I'm gonna hide it. The negativity isn't worth the 3 minute happy ending! Parents who try to instill positive thinking in their children should avoid this movie. The makers were attempting to show the end as victorious, but it goes way over a young child's head and leads to toddlers running around saying "Lock it up Shorty". Fun Fun! You get used to the not so hot animation after the first few minutes.

The art work was not bad but it could have been much better. The sound was poor. There really was no story line that made any sense. It looked like the cartoon was rushed into production. I think this group has a chance to make top grade productions in the future, but this first attempted was tossed together. They need better writers and more people who can rework the sound. It will be interesting to see what their second production is like. One area they have got to improve on is their public relations. They seemed to expect that word of mouth would bring out a huge crowed to see the movie and buy the DVD. It doesn't work that way.

My three year old and a five year old friend loved this movie and I enjoyed it as well. As a mom who is very particular about what my children watch, I was pleased with the content of the movie. I found no suggestive or objectionable situations as you often see in films marketed to children. The characters were lovable and interesting. I could recommend it for younger and older children. It is action packed and kept us on the edge of our seats without any violence. This the best movie I have ever taken the children to see, hands down. It is a must see for anyone looking for action & adventure without offensive material. The story is well written and has a underlying theme about dreaming big things and not giving up on your dreams even when they seem impossible.

Tugger is this generation's "The Little Engine That Could." A sweet story of an old WW2 Jeep that dreams of flying like an airplane. I had the opportunity to attend the screening in Celebration, Florida. Jim Belushi was on hand for the premiere, and performed with his band, the Sacred Hearts, after the film.First in a series of planned adventures, Tugger: The Jeep That Wanted to Fly is a wonderful Veggie-Tales like CGI film about our deepest wishes and dreams, and how sometimes they come to pass in the most unexpected ways.HINT: Listen for Shorty's quick one-liners in the film. You may not recognize him, but that is comedian Carrot Top (aka Scott Thompson) voicing the little yellow radio. ALSO, Lea Selonga (the singing voice of Aladdin's Jasmine, and also Mulan) performs a BEAUTIFUL song at the end of the credits, "No Sky Too Big."
