Reading other comments, it seems that this film was hugely popular with others. I don't think of myself as generally being contrary to the popular opinion, but this movie didn't do it for me.
I'm not saying I hated it - The story was okay, it had some funny parts and the animation was fantastic. However, I just didn't seem to get into it that much. After the movie I asked my oldest daughter what she thought of it (I'm married with 2 girls - 5 & 7). Her first reaction was that she didn't like it, then she came around a little and said it was okay. I don't believe that I biased her by letting on what my feelings of the movie were. My wife felt the same (my youngest didn't like it at all, but she was a little scared by some scenes).
Compared to Monsters vs Aliens - For my family at least - This fell well short of the mark.
