Not since I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas back in '93 (before the emo girls took over as its main fan base) have I seen an animated movie this magical. I expected nothing less from a movie adaption of a Neil Gaimen book and thoroughly enjoyed every second of this movie. The voice acting was top notch, Dakota Fanning is really starting to blossom into an established actress and every character in the movie felt fleshed out and interesting. I really wish I had gone to see this in theaters, however I think the next time I watch it will be on mushrooms so that may create a similar sensation.
