ok first and foremost, IMO this is NOT a kid's movie.

If you like animated films with a dark twist i.e. Nightmare Before Christmas, I'd recommend this movie.

When I first saw trailers for this movie I honestly thought it was gonna be another Tim Burton wannabe flick. Instead, I found this movie as a visually stunning masterpiece.

Imagine Alice in Wonderland infused with Tim Burton's demented perspective. That's exactly what this movie is, and yes, it is damn trippy. Although the movie looks like a 2 hour long acip trip, it actually has a deep storyline that evokes many human emotions that usually make people feel extremely uncomfortable.

All in all, this movie is definitely something that you should watch, but I know for a fact that not everyone will like it. IMO it is a movie that is similar to Trainspotting or Requiem for a Dream, in which it is very disturbing, yet very human. I watched this with little to no expectations, but at the end I was intrigued in wanting to know more about the movie. The story in the movie has many plot holes, but that's only because the book encapsulates and fills those holes.

I would rate this film 9/10, deducting a point for the plot holes. If you're heavily induced on medication, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie, although it would be visually orgasmic.

See what you guys think about the movie, and let me know your opinions. Remember, do NOT watch this with your kids unless they're old enough to not laugh at animated breasts with sparkly pasties.
