THE STORY:
Kai is a young falcon eager to spread his wings and soar beyond the confines set for him by his strict single father, Tendai (Samuel L. Jackson). One day he discovers the secret of an edenic bird city called Zambezia that his father has kept from him.
When he arrives, he is immediately exposed to new characters, challenges, knowledge and triumphs. He manages to join an elite group of birds who patrol and defend the skies around Zambezia as a trainee, but loses this privilege when he is unable to follow the rules and communicate with others. He perseveres, however and manages to save the object of his affections, his father and the entire city.

QUESTIONABLE LANGUAGE:
- idiot
VIOLENCE:
- nothing significant-- some malice/ threat, but no death or gore
TEACHING POINTS:
- co-operation and team work
- importance of open communication and honesty
THE UPSHOT:
Mediocre. Not as bad some others I've seen lately, but not really worth the time it takes to watch. The music is a highlight, and the supporting character voices are particularly good, but the whole just doesn't stand up.
2.5/5
