Finally sat down and watched the movie with the kids over the break (after importing a DVD because of delayed release in the USA)... this movie was delightful... was it the best movie ever? No. Worth modern movie ticket prices? No. But it is a good movie, especially for the kids, (ages 4, 5, 7, and 10 all enjoyed it, baby liked the animation but provided no commentary). IMHO Playmobil movie was better done than the Lego movie but suffers from the "this is for kids" prejudice that is also displayed toward the products themselves. While it is acceptable to society to have Lego as an adult, Playmobil is seen as childish by critics, who all seem to be well-paid professional toddlers.
