If you've seen more than 10 movies in your life, you're sure to notice at least one of them cleverly referenced in the wonderfully textured script of this movie! A lot of talent went into this treat: writing, claymation, scenic design, direction, music, and especially, acting (great, GREAT jobs on the voices -- Sawalha, Gibson and Richardson are terrific), but the sneaky (and not-so-sneaky) little references to a bunch of classic movies makes this an even bigger treat for the non-kids in the audience.
