There are flourishes of brilliance and much stability in the family-bond story, but it felt oddly incomplete. I suppose that's because the film was really a series of adventure vignettes where all the twists and turns of each segment were predictable.
The actors voicing the characters did a superb job. The color and quality of the multiple motifs in the various segments was breathtaking.
But why not a better script? Each of the segments appeared to come from a different subset of the production team, so disjointed were they. Suspense built within each segment only to have the tension speedily resolved so that we can quickly move to the next segment - and on and on.
