The first half was solid, but it became mind-numbingly inane and treacly in the second half. The "message" was oh-so-clear, I squirmed a bit having it rammed down my throat.
The animation was absolutely fantastic. I was amazed by some of the textures and such. I refrain from saying it was a high-water mark for CGI, but it was very, very well done. The artists did a wonderful job. The underwater animation was AMAZING.
It is a shame the screenwriters, director and producers didn't do as well with the meat of the movie. It's almost disgustingly cute (but not quite) so I believe a lot of the flaws are glossed over by folks who see it and get starry-eyed.
Good kid stuff, but they punted the back half of the film.
