Just awful

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2016)

We had high hopes after reading the reviews but closed the movie down not even halfway in. A respected friend said that it had left him like a wet dishrag so we were intrigued to learn about how an animated film made for kids could possibly address such complex concepts. And we especially wondered how it could have been such a hit with respected critics and more importantly, young children. Sadly, we were completely bored. The animation is super-busy as is the dialogue. It's fun to hear the voices of a superstar cast, and some of the ideas are very insightful. But ultimately, it's a dull, boring movie with a high concept -> too wordy, leads nowhere, not worth hanging in to find out "what happens".
