This could have been and should have been a great movie. It had a good cast, love Brian Cox and Bill Nighy, but the story is just awful. It was quirky and had some good things going in it, but over all it kind of tanks. Why they chose to go in the dark direction at the end is the main reason this tanks. This portrays British parents as self involved, lacking intelligence , and poor critical thinking skills. It is a shame because the animation itself is truly beautiful. Kudos to the art team working on this movie, too bad they didn't get a heartwarming story to go with it. This is definitely a one and done. No need to put yourself through this story again. Too bad, it really could have been a classic.
