A company of inflatable toys in the lost & found area of a water park are off on an adventure when they catch wind of an exciting new opening happening on the other side of the park. Determined to see the party, they hatch a daring plan to get in, get out, and hopefully not get caught.
As a great lover of graphic novels I was disappointed by The Inflatables. I was underwhelmed by the over-the-top corniness of the jokes (even my kids rolled their eyes) and legitimately just couldn't care about the non-adventure "adventure" our unbelievable group of heroes headed off on. There will undoubtedly be some kids who will love this, but its not one I'd be quick to recommend to anyone.
