ScreenSlam Says: The Blu-ray is a GOOD buy because it comes with a lot of bonus features that make it valuable. Not only do you get a Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy but a fun coloring and storybook app. The cost is average for a Blu-ray. The only true downfall is the movie itself. Following an unoriginal script, at least the animators where able to add beautiful visuals to a predictable movie.
