However, the ending was extremely disappointing. You don't feel much real closure and it almost feels like the movie was a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. But it almost feels like I read a book and threw it away when I got to the climax.
The actual storyline it follows is pretty normal, but involves some pretty endearing characters. Sometimes, you won't know who you're rooting for. There were times where I was pretty unclear on people's relationships or why a character would do a certain thing, but otherwise it's easy to follow and all and all a good story. Minus the ending.
The art style is right up my ally. Not much to say about it, but it's pleasing to me.
The music is nice and puts me in a happy mood, even when feeling sad emotions with the characters. The music they fit fits well with the story they're telling.
The characters feel realistic to me. Besides your typical animal spheal, you see relationships between characters similar to some you'd see in real life in my opinion. Even side characters feel important and you get a good understanding of how the characters are with people for the most part.
Over all, I enjoyed the movie. It was cute and a lot of fun to watch, but I wish they'd put another fifteen-thirty minutes in past where it ends. It doesn't feel finished-- it almost feels like they got that far writing, didn't know what to do, and decided it was done. But if you can get past that, it's a pretty good movie.
