I hadn't even heard of this movie until this morning, but it looks like a ton of fun.  Might take the kiddies tomorrow to see it.

Sounds like the credits are the best part of the movie!

My kids are interested in seeing it. I'm mildly interested because I'm a fan of Zach Helm (the director) after  chatting with him at a writers guild function just before he started filming it. It's his first feature (directoraly) and he was pretty psyched. Though the movie looks light and fluffy, I'm willing to bet that there's an adult theme in there for us older folks to latch onto.

That's what JoBlo says:  ;D ;D ;D

"The trouble starts with the opening credits, which are imaginative. Too imaginative in fact, as they’re probably the best part of the film."

In my world that's  high praise, in Walden Media's world, not so much.

But I've read a handful of very good reviews of the film - the New York Times was pretty complimentary of it, so was Roger Ebert, among others.  There are bad reviews out there, but not anywhere near as overwhelmingly bad as I thought it might be.

I had read two scathing reviews and one really good one, but my wife took my older daughter yesterday and they both really liked it. My wife did mention that the credit sequence was great.

We made it onto the top of Motionographer today - which is a pretty big deal too:

And CG Channel even  has it on their main page at the moment.

As for the movie, I saw it on Friday and was pleasantly surprised.  It was much better than I thought it would be based on what I'd been hearing.
