I took my 11 year old nephew to the movie yesterday (no I wouldn't have went to it otherwise) and I was pretty much expecting exactly what JonKatz has described. Well because of that, I was quite surprised at the excellent graphics and sound. Anamation has come a long way. Yes the plot was quite predictable and easily forgetful, but the special effects make up for that. I would recommend seeing this one as a rental with a big screen and a good (and loud) surround sound system. Needless to say, my nephew loved it.
