Thoughts:

Watching this was not on my movie bingo card.  I had no intentions of seeing, didn't care to see it, only picked it up for someone else to watch and never even got around to letting them see it before I took it back to the library.  

That said, as much as I thought I was going to turn this one off, something about it kept me glued.  I hadn't even realized the actress who voiced Roz was until I went through the extras because yes, I indeed peeped out the extras for this film because there was something beautiful about the art and story and true to form, I did cry a bit.  I have to say I am curious about the book having seen some of the stills from the extras with the dvd.  But one of the funnier lines was when Roz was like "mothering isn't included in my programming" or something to that effect, lol.  There was cute/funny moments in the form Catherine O'Hara's character, Pinktail, as well as with Fink voiced by Pedro Pascal.

It's a family movie but like with most kid's movies, there's stuff baked in for adults too.  
WTW.
