The first time I watched this film, I thought it was okay. The second time I watched this film, I thought it was bad. But third time's a charm, because this time watching... I absolutely LOVED it! I really don't know what it is, I just went in open minded this time, and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised! On an animation standpoint, this film is visually beautiful and it has some of the best stop motion animation I have ever seen. This film also has one of the best cast in an animated movie. It stars George Clooney, Bill Murray, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, William Dafoe, and Michael Gambon. If you're saying you didn't like the performances in this film, you're probably lying. Don't ask me how I went from hating to loving this film, I simply just think it's amazing and could not recommend it enough.
