We liked it too. The graphics were good, I liked the part where the granny's house gets overrun with the rats. It was definitely a different type of movie, but not in a bad way.
I had not heard that, Mz, but I was thinking that as we were leaving. That is what I meant by it was more about the story than the animation. There were funny parts in it too, but there was more, deeper dialog in it than most typical animation.
