Modern technological advancements have reached the point where small animation studios can bring feature animation films to the big screen with good production values. "The Nut Job" certainly can't be put in the same category as Pixar or Dreamworks, but it has charm in its own way.
"The Nut Job" is a heist movie about a squirrel who plans to raid a nut shop after being kicked out of the park. Featuring a star studded cast with the likes of Will Arnett as the main character Surly, Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, Katherine Heigl or the stern Stephen Lang, the nutty film brings out a wonderful adventure of friendship and betrayal with plenty of good qualities for the kids to learn and understand.
It's not the funniest movie, but it manages to touch one's heart and make them become sympathetic for the honesty of the characters, especially the mute rat Buddy. "The Nut Job" gives out a good example to children: help others and don't always chase personal gain. I recommend this animated movie for children as it may teach them a valuable lesson in life.
