I don't want to push, and to each his own, but I totally disagree with KJJ - just keep in mind that many of us loved it. I promise, my kids did, too. The elements in the list she posted are there, but frankly, they're there in nearly EVERY Disney movie - you can look at The Lion King and see many of the same elements. (Trying to kill the "kid", characters falling to their death, Death, etc.)
There are many, many funny moments, too, and some super touching ones. I definitely thought there was "joy" in the outcome. Just my $.02 - no offense intended to those who don't like it.
