I was surprised that people thought this film was average, or so-so. I found it to me a movie that was so much fun to watch.
Starts out live-action, than it seagues into stop-motion animation. Some of the scenes are very memorable (the pirate attack) and the voices are delightful. Not as good as Nightmare Before Christmas, but every bit as imaginative.
