Rotten
Too grisly for kids, or at least their ticket-buying parents. At the same time, the bouncy musical numbers with their contorted rhymes are unlikely to be embraced by any self-respecting Goth teen.

The animation is great, in its stark, mostly monochromatic way, but the music merely serviceable.
