OK I have to agree here, it is a wonderful film. I haven't seen the press for it but they should be falling over themselves in praise.
The CGI is amazing and ties into live action really well, the plot builds up nicely (and my kids were glued through the whole thing as well).
Lots of laughs through out, slapstick for the kids (the very tall king who really is ..... well go and see it) and references for the grownups (spot the pulp fiction ones!). The real love interest between the two leads is beautifully portrayed and really poignant at the end.
A must see for all the family.
Obviously I was expecting an animation about a boy and a secret fantasy land but some how I expected more. My kids weren't overly enthusiastic about watching it more than twice, although they didn't actually say anything. It was abit slow and not action packed enough to keep little ones watching.
