I didn't hate it, but I expected so much more from it. Seeing the clips and how the actors actually acted the movie out like a play while reading the lines instead of just sitting in a soundbooth really interested me and piqued my interest in the whole thing. So, in other words, I was expecting some sort of kid's movie greatness afforded by such great movies as Up and Toy Story.

With expectations that high, when it fell a bit short, I was pretty disappointed. I also really didn't like Johnny Depp's voice acting at all, but he's been getting on my nerves as of late anyway.

Billy Nighy was brilliant.
