**1/2 – This is one of those movies that tries to pass off creepy stuff as being charming, but only ends up proving that creepy stuff is actually just creepy. If there is anything more horrifying than a circus, it is a freaky European-type circus, and one of those is featured heavily for the first 20+ minutes of the film. Once the animation kicks in, though, the movie becomes much more enjoyable, due largely to the beautiful background/set design and interesting character choices. That being said, the plot is pretty confusing and the whole deal was considerably more child-oriented than I expected.
