This animated film is an instant classic, for children and adults alike. All of us laughed all the way through. In style, it goes back to the animated-puppet style of Eastern European animation of the 1960s. Proof that you can make great animation outside of the Disney/Pixar school, if you have ideas and talent. Great visuals, great voice-acting, great music, great story and pacing. Those who got bored and fell asleep do not know what they missed.
