It is full of lessons and has humor. I like the setting maybe because of what Tim Burton did while filming the movie, he said that he avoided using digital effects most of the time because he wants the young actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment. And seeing the animals used in the movie was real makes me more excited. Like how did they do that, how long did they train the animals, what kind of techniques did they use and many questions came up to my mind. The rating wasn’t perfect because of the poor graphics and the not-so-high quality effects. Maybe because they focused on the scale models and oversized props, but nonetheless the movie was great and fun to watch. It was entertaining and funny.
