This one was a bit of a let down. SJ and Dave Eggers (!) adapted a classic kids' book, which had very little text so they had to make it up. What they came up with seemed to me a serious misreading of what a kid movie should be.
The protagonist was a jerk, both at home and in the imaginary world to which he escapes. The design and execution of the critters was very good...adults in muppet suits w/ CGI faces...but once the delight of novelty wore off even that got tedious.
It was short. That was good. Not short enough though. Would've made a great 15 minute film.
