I really liked the book but felt this adaptation was a bit weak - the scary bits weren't scary enough, the funny bits weren't funny enough and the voice acting was completely uninspired. I love stop-motion animation and am a fan of both Selick and Gaiman, but this one didn't impress me. I'm looking forward to seeing it in 2D on my television at some point - maybe I'll come around on it.

I didn't know this had been adapted for film. I wasn't OVERLY fond of the story, but I did feel that it would led itself best to a more vivid and varied medium then graphic novel. Film would gain a greater advantage to manipulate fields of vision and use music, sound and voice. Sad that it doesn't sound like it came together.
