Tugger: The Jeep 4x4 Who Wanted to Fly Trailers

Tugger is a little jeep. During World War II, his engine fan was replaced with a real airplane propeller. Since then, he's known that one day, he too will fly in the skies. While spending his time doing boring work towing airplanes around, he never let go of that dream, and who knows, it may just come true some day...

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
us192 The art work was not bad but it could have been much better. The sound was poor. There really was no story line that made any sense. It looked like the cartoon was rushed into production. I think this group has a chance to make top grade productions in the future, but this first attempted was tossed together. They need better writers and more people who can rework the sound. It will be interesting to see what their second production is like. One area they have got to improve on is their public relations. They seemed to expect that word of mouth would bring out a huge crowed to see the movie and buy the DVD. It doesn't work that way.
shelby22999 I attended the premiere of Tugger and I liked it. I felt the story was average but nice. The animation was beautiful and the songs were fun. I thought Jim Belushi did well as the voice of Tugger but I did not think Mr. Belushi was the greatest singer (not that he claims to be). Overall I thought it was pretty good. As a suggestion I believe there could be more character development. Tugger and the rest of the characters seem to be fairly one-dimensional and if the stories are to continue as suggested I feel there should be more depth.Not a bad first project for a small studio.
blewis17 Tugger is this generation's "The Little Engine That Could." A sweet story of an old WW2 Jeep that dreams of flying like an airplane. I had the opportunity to attend the screening in Celebration, Florida. Jim Belushi was on hand for the premiere, and performed with his band, the Sacred Hearts, after the film.First in a series of planned adventures, Tugger: The Jeep That Wanted to Fly is a wonderful Veggie-Tales like CGI film about our deepest wishes and dreams, and how sometimes they come to pass in the most unexpected ways.HINT: Listen for Shorty's quick one-liners in the film. You may not recognize him, but that is comedian Carrot Top (aka Scott Thompson) voicing the little yellow radio. ALSO, Lea Selonga (the singing voice of Aladdin's Jasmine, and also Mulan) performs a BEAUTIFUL song at the end of the credits, "No Sky Too Big."
adler_amanda I saw Tugger at the premiere in Florida during the 4th of July weekend. This movie was high-quality computer animation along the lines of Toy Story or Finding Nemo. The story was extremely cute and patriotic, and with a "G" rating it was perfect fun for the whole family. My entire group (comprised of people of diverse ages) enjoyed the movie which was full of good life lessons, while never becoming too obvious or "preachy" like so many family/kids films. The characters, voiced by Jim Belushi and Carrot Top, were lovable and done well. Jim Belushi also sang the songs in the movie, which I found to be excellent. I would recommend this movie for any family looking for something that both the parents and the kids can enjoy together.
