Moviegoers are saying
This German animated desert adventure about Tafiti the meerkat divides families as much as critics, with some kids enchanted by the slow-paced journey while others check out after five minutes. Reviewers consistently note the film's resemblance to Disney's Timon and Pumbaa, though the execution falls short of its inspiration with notably rough animation and a surprisingly mean-spirited tone.
