Everything I've read/heard about it makes it sound more appealing than pretty much every recent Marvel/Disney/Star Wars movie...but I don't have kids so I have an irrationally hard time getting myself to actually watching childrens' movies that I don't have nostalgia for.
(I just saw the first Harry Potter the other day for the first time and thought it held up pretty well due to the world building and John Williams.)
Wait, hadn't considered going at it from the Fantastic Mr Fox angle, maybe that'll work...
