This is another film in which it really helps to know in advance what it is, or more specifically, what it isn't. Then, you go from there.

I enjoyed the animated film very much but, some of that was due to the fact a friend clued me in first, saying 'this isn't really a comedy or a film for little kids. Don't expect a ton of laughs.' So, instead of seeking laughs (although I still got them here and there), I just enjoyed the adventure story and marveled at the amazing artwork. Seen on Blu-Ray, this is yet another example in which you shake your head and wonder, 'How does the artwork get any better than this?' Then, about six months from now, another will come along and I'll say the same thing.
Overall movies may not be better today than 'in the old days,' but there is no dispute there are two areas in which films keep getting better and better: special-effects and animation. This is another example of that. The colors and the detail in here are almost beyond description. The artwork ranges from bold to subdued, but always stunning. I lost track how many times I wanted to just pause and admire the picture for a few minutes.
From super-sharp closeups of the old man's face to lush jungle scenery, this high-definition disc is worth every penny/ Back to the story, I found it a combination adventure-fantasy-comedy-suspense-sentimental story, about in that order, too. Generally-speaking, I would think adults would like this more than kids, but I may be wrong.
Everyone - regardless of age - will have their jaw drop more than once viewing the incredible-looking scenes. It's really a feast for the eyes.
Finally, if you like extras, there are tons of them in the four-disc DVD set.
