Way too negative and sad

Rating: 4/10 (3 July 2009)

I am so disappointed with this movie!! I was so excited to see it and I left the theater disappointed and sad. I know that most movies like this have obstacles characters need to overcome, but practically the entire movie was one negative and sad/bad situation after another. Way more trials and tribulations than funny moments. I went with the expectation the movie would have an overall positive and fun theme but it did not at all. It was a big downer. I can't imagine kids would leave this movie feeling all happy and cheerful as with most animated films. I will say that the animation/technical aspect was superb. Too bad the story wasn't as well.
