What Works

  • Solid entry in the animation, family, science fiction, comedy, adventure catalog
  • Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
  • A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative

What Doesn't

  • A few minor subplots feel slightly underdeveloped
  • May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
