I've been in love with this movie ever since it released in 1997!!! The movie is about a group of kids who are called the stinkers named by their opera obsessed school principal who takes the school to the kids to the aquarium and they meet Slappy. He seamed depressed and they make up their minds to free him not knowing the adventure they're getting into. Believe it or not only 3 out of the 5 become famous the dark haired weird talking boy becomes Otto Rocket of Rocket Power, the dark skinned boy becomes a old friend of Ren on Even Stevens, and the chubby hat wearing boy appears a few times on the Amanda Show.

I bought this movie for my younger sister, who is eight, and she just loves it. Even the grown-ups laugh along with this movie.

We picked up this movie at a garage sale, and I am SO GLAD I only paid a dollar. I really feel I should get a refund though, and maybe some payment for time lost! The plot line is SO contrived (oh look at the poor sea lion, he looks so sad, we should save him and release him to the sea). Free Willy it ain't! The acting is abysmal, and don't get me started on the fake accents!! *shudder*

I gave it 2 stars instead of one because the kids had some laughs. However with the basic premise that kids should defy adults because they are all stupid, incompetent, and/or evil I think there are MUCH better family films out there to get your chuckles.

(Note All Adults watching this film without the company of a child. Due to its child-only tolerable content I give you the warning rating of one star out of five) Barnet Kellman's family comedy ,Slappy and the Stinkers, is a crudely entertaining and obviously slapstick-ish animal rescue movie with predictably stupid and inept adults and a particularly clueless antogaonist relentless in his attempt to capture Slappy ,the seal. The moronic villain continues to chase the likable kids despite the limitless amount of physical damage he sustains while in his pursuit of Slappy and the kids such as: bombardment by a fire hose, being blown up by a gopher bomb, having a rake being slammed into the back of his head, having a potato rocket launcher aimed at his nose and groin, being knocked out by a collapsing building, and finally falling 20 feet and receiving a "comical?" groin injury to the sharp rocks below. This movie is nothing more than a very sub-par Home Alone rip-off with none the previous movie's humor or charm. Slappy and the Stinkers is sadly excessively violent for those young enough to like the film's message and too comically destitute for everyone else.Reccomended only for children between the age of 7-10 who'll probably get a little kick out of it, but years later have the tape recycled.

For a no name movie,that I just happen to pick up off the shelf at a glance for my kids. I was pleasantly surprised and plan to purchase it for my home!

This movie tells the story of a clumsy music teacher (B.D. Wong) and a gang of kids nicknamed "The Stinkers". The music teacher hates the pesky 7-year olds and will do anything to stop them from ruining his dream of being an opera singer. The plot takes place around the trouble the "stinkers" get into as they attempt to rescue a sea lion (named Slappy). This is a cute movie that any kid, or adult will love to laugh at. Other funny characters include the Swedish-piano-player, Harriet; and the stupid lawn-mowing-man, Roy. Buy this movie and get ready to laugh.

For Kids only. My son (5) and daughter (3) wanted to watch it every day. As a parent I liked the minimum of violence and the portrayal of kids who can follow thier imaginations. It was easy to relate to my kids that the STINKERS worked as a solid team and shared responsibilities and ideas. No arguing, no "me first" , no pushing , no shoving , no designer clothes. A movie that impresses upon my son that being a kid should be fun and to use your imagination.

My son requested this DVD. I had not heard of this title before and was unsure of what to expect. It looks to be a Little Rascals type of movie. But either way, my son loves it and watches it again and again.

Well,My family borrowed the movie, Slappy and the stinkers for our local Library.Mom just thought we would like it because there was a seal and children in it. It looked like just an ordinary Childrens video.
My family loved this movie, we have watched it over and over again. I have asked for this movie for Christmas with high hopes I will get it.Unfortunately we have to return the movie back to the Library today.
I think the part where the kids and the seal use Mr.Brinway
house to keep the seal and to give the seal a place to swim and eat because he doesn't get home until late.The kids and Slappy have a real fun time until they almost get caught by Mr. Brinway.The funny thing is Mr. Brinway gets locked out of his house while checking the door after the doorbell rings.(He is in a very skimpy bathing suit.That is a very funny part . I also like the part when the kids are running from the mean guy who they think is trying to kill them and they get away on the luge with the boat they made from an bathtub and curtains. It is so funny. It is deffinately a family movie for all to enjoy.

This is a great movie for kids and the young at heart. My kids love it and it is about on the same level as the "Dennis the Menace" movies.
