My reaction
Concept:2/4 (Indifferent)
Story:3/4 (Good)
Characters:4/4 (Great)
Dialog:3/4 (Good)
Pacing:4/4 (Great)
Cinematography:3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design:4/4 (Great)
Acting:4/4 (Great)
Music:3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 (Great) [edit - 5/4]). Very sad. It's supposed to be in "classic Disney" style (ie, it looks a lot like Sleeping Beauty), but classic Disney animators were never this expressive. Every detail of the character animation is so perfect, it almost makes Pixar look like amateurs.
Objective Rating (Average):3.4/4 (Very good) [edit - 3.5/4]
