Not as funny as many Pixar films, as a lot of the attempts at humor both seem a lot more forced than normal and tired variations of previous films. Even the setting smacks of a variation on the Monsters Inc world, with fantasy tropes and magic replacing the childhood monsters and dreams explored to less comic effect. That said, Pixar knows how to develop genuine relationships that are relatable and touching, and although it takes time to come to the fore, the relationship between the two brothers is well handled and builds to a satisfying and emotional final act that ensures the film remains a cut above the weaker Pixar efforts.
