Yes, the ending is a mess that went for spectacle. But all in all it's a pleasant movie with a good father-son dynamic.
I'm more annoyed by how this movie's ending would have been a perfect starting point for a TV adaptation focused on adventure, but instead they chose to go with random offbeat humor and music that, more often than not, interfered with the educational aspects of the show.
