This youth-oriented martial arts comedy concerns three children (Colt, Rocky, and Tum Tum) who are instructed in the art of
ninjitsu by their grandfather, Ninja Master Mori (
Victor Wong). Another of Mori's former pupils grew up to be notorious underworld figure Hugo Snyder (
Rand Kingsley), who -- attempting to get the boys' FBI agent dad off his back -- orders the young ninjas kidnapped. In usual Disney fashion, the chopsocky children turn the tables on their inept kidnappers, but get in bigger trouble when a group of ninjas keeps them prisoner in the hold of a ship. Action-packed, but not overly violent,
3 Ninjas is a lot of fun for kids and its success at the box-office led to two sequels.
