Despite its ridiculous plot, awkward moments and general nonsense, this film exudes a lot of charm. It's easy to see why people dislike it, but it's also easy to see why it's a childhood favourite to many. There are as many memorable lines as awful ones. The animation as always is great but I'm on the fence about the main song. The overall score is fantastic and still resonates in my head to this day.
A childhood favorite, but seriously weird in retrospect. Aliens, dinos, maniacal carnivals, and...Julia Child???? PLUS it was written by John Patrick Shanley which I just have no words for.
