    It's an extraordinary feat of animation, possibly the most lovingly conceived, uncompromisingly executed and totally successful animated film since "The Lion King."

    It's classic animation wedded to modern technology -- painted pictures that move in magical splendor.

    The movie's big action scenes, at times, make you forget you're even watching animation. There's an in-your-face sequence involving a runaway, crashing train that will make you squirm in your seat trying to get out of the way.

    An animated fairy tale made with simple, elegant conviction.
