I thought it felt more like a cartoon at first, to such an extent that I was rather bored and annoyed after about a third of the way in. Then I thought about it and I realized the cartoon-like feel was a way to accent the larger than life fairy tales that came down through history from the Brothers Grimm. If you keep that in mind then you will enjoy the movie for what it is from the very beginning. Warning though: this is a guy adventure movie and therefore a bit more gruesome than you might expect (not a kids show!). It is MUCH more faithful to the original European tales which were told to scare young children into behaving rather than the whitewashed versions that came to be told in the US. I.E. you will see the bogeymen of past eras rather than cuddly characters used to put you to sleep as a child.
