EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Jul 04, 2001; Rated: PG; Length: 86 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Kids and Family; With: Alec Baldwin, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sean Hayes and Joe Pantoliano; Distributor: Warner Bros.; More

A formidable arsenal of computer-assisted puppets and live animals has been assembled to demonstrate that feline-versus-canine competition is a threat to world peace. Or so goes the lightheartedly silly premise of this fanciful comedy, with animal-voice contributions from Tobey Maguire, Susan Sarandon, and Alec Baldwin. There's just one problem: The plot and script sag like worn-out chew toys. Not only isn't this Babe, it's not even SNL's Toonces the driving cat.
