A feast for the eyes and the imagination.

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2009)

I took my eleven and eight year olds to see this and they loved it. There was not one single scene that I thought inappropriate for them. It was so much deeper and more thought provoking than the usual Disney schmaltz (although the kids love that stuff too). I would recommend it to anyone with a bit of imagination who was to watch something that makes them think a little bit more than the average cartoon. Our family love Nightmare Before Xmas so this was definitely a film we were looking forward to and we were not disappointed. This is up there with animated greats such as NBC and Spirited Away. There were certainly some Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass themes but generally a nicely conceived world for young and old minds to explore. We will certainly be buying the DVD to watch again and again.
