Surprising in much of its first act, pleasing and pleasant but quickly devolves in to the Aardman-by-numbers obvious, but not unwelcome, verbal gags and character arcs.
It's fun, handsome, creepy and funny. Not quite prime Aardman, but far from the worst (I'm looking at you Flushed Away). It's typically childish but with some gags for adults but unlike Disney/Pixar, I don't think it manages to excel in both.
Basically, it's Lagaan. For kids.
