Overall mediocre animated film that is too scary for the young children and too plain for the adult crowd. Voice acting is pretty good, and the house animation is great - but overall pretty disappointing. |

Great animation, adults may see it as a comedy |
|
"DJ" (voiced by Mitchell Musso) has been noticing some strange goings-on at the house across the street owned by the mean, old "Nebbercracker" (Steve Buscemi). He has been spying on the house and "Nebbercracker", even though he has been told by his parents (voiced by Fred Willard and Cathrine O'Hara in cameo roles) not to.
"Nebbercracker" is known to take anything from children which lands on his property, including the basketball of "DJ's" friend "Chowder" (voiced by Sam Lemer).
"DJ" tries to tell adults that there is something up, but they won't listen. So he, "Chowder" and a neighborhood girl named "Jenny" (voiced by Spencer Locke) investigate the house after "Nebbercracker" has an apparent heart attack while yelling at "DJ" amd "Chowder" and rushed to the hospital.

More Publicity Than it Deserved? |
|
This movie was a dissapoinment. There, I said it. While the animation was good, the plot was not carried out well. This was made to be a kids movie, but lots of kids might be scared of it. I don't think it deserved its Oscar nomination. Judging by what I saw, it could have been better. |

Advances in Motion Capture |
|
This movie has made massive advances in the realm of motion capture 3D. Up until this point, most mocap movies would capture the bodies, and hand animate the facial expressions. Everything including the expressions were captured here in the same session. The voice and motion capture were shot entirely in 34 days, which for a fully animated feature is amazing. |
