Great animation and fun (if sanitized) story. Very good acting but a little uneven. Not as dark as most other Tim Burton movies. A few characters were disappointing to me as they skewed wildly from the original but I was clued in that this is supposed to be a sequel of sorts. Young kids running up and down the aisles giggling and texting during the movie didn't add to the enjoyment. I will give this movie a second look on DVD/Bluray from the comfort of my own home. I think I will enjoy it more.
