I usually love Henry Selick's work. In fact the Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline are two of my favourite movies. But this just didn't hit the mark.
There was far too much going on, and many of the additional story points feel unnecessary, which ultimately ends up taking away from the quality of a film that could've been great, but really wasn't.
This film would've been so much better if the story was simplified and streamlined a bit.
Pretty disappointing overall.
The animation style was nice though, although not my favourite of his work, and it was nice to have diversity in the characters.
