They say that it's "easily the best thing Disney has done in a long time."
I had worried that their experimentation with more silly, fun styles of moviemaking (e.g. The Emperor's New Groove) would be regarded as a failure, because of the relative box-office anemia of that film and others of its era. But it looks as though economic conditions are such that those are the most favorable kinds of movies to make in the first place, and so we can expect them to stick to that experiment for a bit longer.
Jolly good, I say.
This interview is interesting, by the way-- it talks about how some emergency changes had to be made in the film when 9/11 happened, because the final chase scene involved a 747 and flying in amongst skyscrapers. Take a look, and see what it was like making those changes-- the mood and the work ethic and the sense of necessity, and what it can do for people even when they're doing something as mundane and removed from national-security matters as making an animated film.
