Hey Nightowl: have you rented "Hoot" yet?
It's your basic Disney type movie: 3 kids band together to stop a pancake house from being built in a Florida community where groups of burrowing owls have their nests. Enjoyable for those 12 and under.
Story could have been told in 30 minutes, including time for the opening and closing credits. However, the "how they made it" extra showing the animal trainers working with the owls was quite interesting.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
