I have seen films that are much worse in my mind. I feel it was put together very well. However the dog costumes looked like fursuits people but to play animals. I believe the effects could be better. Other than that it was better than other films that put much more money into them. Bauer did pretty good. In today budget levels $1,000,000.00 is not really much of a budget. I would consider that low budget in fact. So all and all three stars for me. - Thanks
