We asked our ten year old how she liked the movie... response was "in one word - AWESOME"! My husband and I both really enjoyed it as well. It's got a lot of humor that both kids and adults will really get a kick out of. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments. The only drawback was that our four year old was pretty frightened by a few of the scenes (specifically the landfill scene). Be careful about taking pre-school age kids (you may have them on your lap with eyes shut for a few of the more intense scenes). Consider how they've reacted to similar movies - they may be just fine. Many people have commented on Lotso; we didn't like the Lotso character either, but then, you're not supposed to like the bad guy! I would have liked to see a change of heart or a redemption... but he isn't overly sinister for a kid's movie, not compared to the evil queen/witch in Snow White or any of the other traditional Disney "villains". The 3D was a nice enhancement, and they don't use a ton of gratuitous "in your face" 3D effect stuff. Overall, though, it was a great family movie, one with something for everyone. Definitely recommended!
