The story, written by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, is pretty standard childhood fare... It's the 3-D animation, under the spell of director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, that's such a surprise. Not that a woman is flying solo on a major animated project...rather that this is the first movie in a long time that you won't mind paying for the glasses because what's on the screen is multidimensional magic.
