The simple fact that they were rebooting the series instead of finishing Del Toro's trilogy meant this film had an uphill battle from the start.

Olympia Dukakis also turned in a great performance and you get the sense of why Cher's character is so strong willed.

What struck me first was how the film is presented through the POV of a dog, the human characters are mostly seen from the knees down.

There are two relationships in this film, JoJo and the Jewish girl, then JoJo and his mother.

I didn't expect to be on the edge of my seat for this film, but it got me there and then some.

I had no idea what was real during the film when they would randomly cut to sequences being filmed for the show.

The film will leave you exhausted by the end and that isn't a film for everyone, but it was a film for me.

The entire film feels forced and uninspired.

The first film was self aware, this film is possibly too self aware?

The film pivots from that story into a wonderful and fully realized adventure film that crosses the globe, showcasing the true talents behind the stop motion animation at Laika.
