Brimming with values that should serve its young audience well: altruism, friendship, self-sacrifice, responsibility.

A sunny, gentle action yarn with numbingly repetitive chase scenes and bouncy interludes of playtime.

Better for several reasons. First, they've jazzed up the animation. The backgrounds appear to be digital, and they are striking. The story is also less violent and combative.

Sometimes the 2D and 3D animation doesn't blend, and the heinous pop songs would embarrass Peter Cetera, but there's plenty to like, including a fascinating mechanical contraption and musical score both shamelessly and lovingly stolen from "The Dark Crystal."
