The story is pretty standard as far as children's movies go. You can pretty much tell within the first few minutes of the movie how things are going to go down. Despite that it's still a fun ride than my children and I enjoyed and there were a few pleasant surprises along the way. The world the story is set in and the delivery of the plot is also unique enough to keep it interesting enough to watch without groaning at the predictability. In any case, the predictability isn't necessarily bad as it is a kids' movie and teaches good enough morals; believe in yourself to unlock your true potential, do not be arrogant, do not belittle others, keep the company of those who bring out the best in you, help others--these are all great lessons for kids.
The animation though--wow! I really loved it. I especially loved the use of different animation mediums to create a different feel and experience during various parts in the movie it worked very well in my opinion. The art style was very cute too but the use of colour was very artfully done. There are so many little details the artists really didn't have to add, but I'm glad they did.
A new family favorite? I'm not sure. I think I would watch this again just to be transported to this beautiful world. I am going to be on the look out for more animation from these creators.
