Another gem from the director of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' I loved it!...

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2012)

I really enjoyed this film; it may be a bit quirky for some, but I really liked the animation and the storytelling. This, combined with some great characters, makes for a very pleasurable experience. I was trying to think what it reminded me of, and the only thing I could think of was 'Pans Labyrinth', but only in a very superficial way. If you liked 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' then I'm sure you'll love this!... Recommended.
