My kids liked it. I thought the animation was incredible, but...I thought the story was boring, nothing especially interesting, funny, nothing grabbed me. I told dh parts of it reminded me of Rankin Bass cartoons. Like Sombertown in "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and the maggot character reminded me of the catterpillar in "The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town". Ok, not exactly like them, CB just brought them to mind for me.
