The voices of the star cast aptly suit the characters. Their versatile modulation and intonation makes the characters very appealing. What further boosts the viewing experience are the witty dialogues. They are filled with puns and punchlines galore. The plot competently balances between child-friendly pranks and contemporary gags aimed at grownups.
There is enough sparkle and warmth in the background score, and the number "Beautiful Beautiful boy" is well-placed in the film.
Visually, the animation and 3D effects are good but not outstanding. There is a balance in the retro and modern design elements. The huge-headed characters with basic features and facial expressions are enhanced with lighting and super rich colours. Loaded with characters from history, you would be able to spot Mahatma Gandhi too, in one of the frames.
All in all, the film takes off on a promising premise, but eventually saddles on a disappointing plateau. But nevertheless, it is an uncomplicated film that would appeal to kids and adults alike.
The film would strongly appeal to intelligent kids, their parents and dog lovers, who have a sense of humour.
