Fun, thought provoking, dark, but not as dark as Grimm

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2006)

First of all, the soundtrack is wonderful. Animated musicals can be fun, but sometimes the soundtrack is so-so without the animation. Not the case with this movie. Second, sure it's got an agenda. Sure it's a little dark. But it's also an enjoyable film I could take children too and NOT be bored silly. Adults may feel it's too filled with agenda, but kids are going to enjoy the film regardless. My take? If you can't handle films with an obvious agenda, this might not be for you, but your kids are probably still going to like it so send them with friends. I know I'm going to be taking my brothers sometime this month because this film is exactly the type my step-dad doesn't like. So if you've got older siblings, aunts,uncles or cousins that you can utilize, do.
