I saw it in 3D and I've gotta say, even with the hype, I enjoyed it more then I thought. Most of my complaints are just little things but the core of this movie is rock solid. What drives the story are some interesting, well-developed characters that we actually care about and their very human relationships. I went in expecting some laughs and even some nerdgasms at the video game cameos but found myself almost tearing up in a couple of places (those of you who have seen it probably know what I'm talking about).
There were a couple of minor things that bothered me, like Sugar Rush having HD graphics on the screen when it's a game from 1997 (I love the Mario Kart font). I felt like a change of scenery was needed during the last half of the movie, as Sugar Rush was beginning to overstay it's welcome (with all the cringe-worthy duty jokes and candy puns), although I'm not sure how they would've worked that into the story, since that's where the heart of the movie takes place. The ending also comes dangerously close to being too formulaic but it avoids the "all the characters from the movie come to the rescue where a whacky battle ensues" ending that soo many Disney films fall trap to (which is a pet peeve of mine), so I can live with it. Normally I have more negative stuff to say and who knows, I may later on after multiple viewings but for now, I'm impressed with Disney for the first time in about a decade.
Note: Love the Candy King's walk cycle. Was cracking up seeing his feet spin around everytime he lifted his legs.
He had to have been joking. During the credits I recognized some former Dreamworks artists' names (incredibly talented ones I might add).
Most of the iconic video game characters they used are typically in 3D games anyway.
