By far the best of the entire series.
I did have to laugh a few times, but that was mainly about the animals, especially the hamster and the dog. Murphy was rarely fun.
By the way, is it an original idea (innovative script, or are there already other films related to this theme)?
2.5*.

But reconsider. Surprisingly, it's still fun. Just a good dose of nostalgia and Eddie Murphy is fine in his role. Unlike some other films, the talking animals are also good. 3.5*

"I can talk with animals!"
Very nice comedy. Don't get the underestimation at all.
Eddie Murphy is truly a genius. His jokes and bumbling actions are priceless.
Technically also quite good, the animals look good and are well synchronized.
Very fun and entertaining movie.
