"Our son loves Pooh, and Tigger, and Elmo. But offer him Napoleon, and he'll drop anything and everything. Our 20 month old just adores this movie, and so do we. Of course it helps that we have two golden retrievers. Berdo the bird (voiced by Bronson Pinchot) definitely steals the show - our son just giggles uncontrollably whenever he's on the screen! Definitely a keeper for the little ones."

A young pup named Napoleon longs to break free from his house pet life and join the wild dogs. When his wish comes true, he his totally excited. He gets stuck in a basket with tons of balloons tied to it and flies away. He goes ove to the woods where the wild dogs are. He meets Birdo, a lovable African Parrot. With his help,the pup sets out to find his dream. Full of laughs and adventure, this is a must own for any kid. And there is no violence at all except for a dog and cat fighting and it's not bad at all.

A cute, lovable, entertaining film for kids

"This is the best animal movie I have ever seen..from a child's point of view. This has been our daughter's favorite movie for the last one year or so (she's 3 now) and after watching it almost every day (sometimes several times a day) she still enjoys it as much! We're surprised that even we are not tired of it. The animals are fun to watch, the story is interesting and the music is great. We've bought several other animal movies for our daughter and this surpasses all of them. The production is superb, the animals did a great job and it all seems so real. A must-by for everyone who has small kids."
Animals and Music. What more could a kid want.

"This is currently my 22 month old son's favorite movie. I haven't seen any other movies that combine talking animals, adventure and fun songs. The cat is a little scary as the villian, but he doesn't seem to be afraid. The entire film is shot in Australia with a lot of local animals and the voice overs are by american celebrities."
