have enjoy neil gaiman write ( especially his collaboration with yoshitaka amano in the dream hunter ) in the past and i figure mirrormask to be a sure thing and be very disappointed . the beginning and live action section of the movie be intrigue enough . the relationship between the character be believable and easy to empathize with and and i love the set and the costuming and and helena artwork . the subsequent computer generate scene and however and be excruciate . the dialogue be awkward and pretentious and the interaction between the live actor and the cgi horrifying . event occur for the flimsy reason and and most event seem superfluous to whatever plot may have exist . i only watch the first twenty or thirty minute of the movie and so i be not exactly an authority and but i strongly recommend that you do not watch any of it at all and stick with gaiman strong write work .
