Goofs:
Continuity: After the princesses Rhyme and Reason are rescued, the Kings toast each other, and as the car containing Milo, Tock and the Humbug drive past in front of them from right to left, for just a split-second, the car (and its occupants) disappears, and then reappears.

Quotes:
The Dodecahedron:
My sides are many, my angles aren't few. I'm the Dodecahedron, and who are you?
Milo: What's a dodecahedron?
Tick Tock the Watch Dog: If I'm remember correctly, a dodecahedron is a geometrical shape with twelve sides.
The Dodecahedron: See for yourself. I only use one at a time. Saves wear and tear.

This movie is amazing. I'm 24 and I have just seen it for the first time. I've watched it now with a 29 year old and a 34 year old and they both adored it.
Not only does it give a message that every person needs to here at many different stages in their life *not just childhood*, but it's fun and entertaining.
The songs are well worded and fun, the script is amazing. The art is trippy. The characters have incredible voices that take you back to Saturday morning cartoons.
It's a movie that parents can enjoy with their kids, teenagers can enjoy with friends, and all people should agree it's like a tiny mind trip without the drugs.
Anyone that can't find joy somewhere in this movie is stuck in the Doldrums!
