Meh. It's okay.

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2005)

First off, let me say that the movie was beautiful. The innovative animation techniques really captured the idea of a storybook come to life. That said-- I probably would have liked this movie better if they'd spent a little more time developing the characters and a little less time careening around like a roller coaster. I also thought the Mick Jagger cameo towards the end was a bit much. Overall, it wasn't painful to watch, but I'm not sure I'd want to watch it again if I wasn't required to. I'd rather they'd have added to the existing plot instead of trying to stretch a twenty-five page book into a feature-length film.
