SUMMARY:  G-FORCE is the story of three guinea pigs and a mole that are trained by scientist to become FBI Special Agents called the G-Force.

IN BRIEF:

 

G-FORCE is the story of three guinea pigs and a mole that are trained by scientist to become FBI Special Agents called the G-Force. When the G-Force program is discontinued, the guinea pigs and mole are banished to Elia's Pet Shop. At the shop, they get a taste of what it is like to be a normal pet. Meanwhile, an evil villain is using a computer chip called Clusterstorm, which has been secretly installed in everyday household appliances. The chip is awaiting the final signal to activate and destroy the world.

 

G-FORCE is a delightful adventure with pint-sized heroes. The action is non-stop and the characters are funny. It has strong moral elements, with a Christian emphasis on sacrifice, loyalty and recognizing your intrinsic worth. A theme of family and friendship is also underscored. There is some political correctness, however, since the villain's motivation turns out to be revenge because humans destroyed his home, but all the PC content is refuted or mocked. G-FORCE is immensely enjoyable. It has a lot of laughs, thrills and tears of joy and compassion, but some action may be a little scary for very young children.
