OK, so this is what I want you to do. I want you to put out your hands with all five fingers extended, then put the middle and ringer finger down on both hands. Afterwards, I want you to rock your head in a forward to backwards motion and say, "3-D is AWESOME!" because 3-D is awesome, and the movie wasn't so bad either. Yes it's true, I have never seen a movie in 3-D and boy was it something, but enough about the 3-D aspects. I wanted to see the movie way before I found out it would be showing in 3-D, I wanted to see the movie because this same director did the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and I have been a fan of those clay-type animations with a dark storyline since. Based on a novella by Neil Gaiman, this movie gives you a sense of Alice in Wonderland with dark overtones. It is a great family movie in that it teaches everyone that (1) the grass is not always greener on the other side, and (2) be grateful for what you have. So watch the movie with someone and see what type of reaction you get from them at the end of movie, it may be an animation movie, but it does show you where your true value in life should be (family & friends).
