Yes, all the kids look the same, they get the same grades, do the same things, and when one rebels, they all do. The adults wear smilie faces. All of the houses have smokestacks that add to the gray smog and the dismal atmosphere. "Dog go splat. Me save doggy. Me laugh." Neither the sound nor the visuals are appealing or memorable. ...
