Long story short: Well worth seeing in theaters. Go see it.
Beautifully animated; every scene is masterfully done.
Story could be better; a bit basic and predictable, but I suppose it is meant to to be a children's movie. It's a fine example of the Hero's Journey though.
Pacing is very well done. Never felt too slow or overly rushed to me.

Looks awesome.
I also love the use of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Saw it today. Four kleenex-movie. I totally did not expect the ending.
