Don't worry, parents, only you--and not your 5-year-old--will get that the chicken's stoned out of his gourd.

A cheerful and frequently amusing bit of nonsense, which certainly will provoke children into giggles. The film does not measure up to March of the Penguins or Happy Feet, both Oscar-winning efforts. Nor is it trying to.
