“…he has a bright past in show business.”

Every “kids” movie needs a bully, a fat kid, a nerdy girl, and a half-nerdy-but-identifyable boy. One kid with a goofy voice or a disability, and usually just one minority, or two different ones.

Must include at least three fart jokes, and innuendos only adults would understand.
Even CARS had three or four fart jokes.

That alone makes any kids movie suck.
