If you love Wes Anderson, you'll love this movie. If you don't love Wes, well, you still might really enjoy it. It's a great, unique movie that just happens to be animated. Definitely unlike any other "kids" movie I've ever seen. Of course, like other Roald Dahl stories, it's a movie that appeals to adults just as much...though possibly for completely different reasons. I'd probably describe it more as interesting rather than fun or funny, though it's both of those as well.
