*** - This is the 2nd consecutive Neil Gaiman-penned animated film that revolves around a teenage girl that I have watched. This one is not quite as creepy as “MirrorMask” and, thankfully, doesn’t have the live-action parts that that film did. The animation is top-notch, and while the premise is intriguing, I found myself a bit underwhelmed by its execution. There are lots of oddball characters who are pretty annoying (the old fat ladies, the Russian guy, etc.), and the mystery plot seemed to lose steam about ¾ of the way through. Like “MirrorMask”, this is a movie that seems to aim for a youngish audience, but the creepiness factor may put off that age group.
