That either needs to be rewritten or removed entirely. It's lighter and softer? Sure, a little bit when compared to the original film, but compared to the other sequels, it's one of the darker ones. You have the main characters almost drowning in a tar pit, Ozzy and Strut spending half of the film trying to kill them, the volcano eruption and Chompers Parents in the great valley since it's the only time in the movies where sharpteeth are actually in the valley. It might be a little Lighter And Softer when compared to the original, but not for the reasons that were listed. (yeah it's a bit of a rant, but I'm trying to make a point)


* LighterAndSofter: Pretty much every dark, bleak, and/or frightening aspect of the original film is absent here. Even the color palette is brighter.
