About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, family-friendly animated adventure with striking visuals, clear good-versus-evil stakes, and bursts of suspense; Not for you if you dislike darker kids’ stories or busy, lore-heavy plotting like Rise of the Guardians.

Pros: stunning detailed visuals; exciting escape sequences; darker adventurous tone | Cons: messy crowded story; predictable fantasy beats; uneven humor choices
