This has so many things I can't stand in a movie: The geeky dweeb who becomes the hero, the prejudiced parent who will never listen, the misunderstanding that'll break them apart and just result in them moping and doping, the hiding the pet so that nobody sees him, a lean towards modern-day talk in a fantasy world.

Which is funny, because the people who did this also directed Lilo and Stitch, another movie that's been done a million times but seemed very fresh and new when they put their spin on it. And this movie works very much the same.
