Accomplished, ambitious, and great-looking.

As warm and reassuring as grandma's hugs.

It may be a hard sell to the Gameboy generation, but The Basket has charms that may be more evident to adults.

Would be solid family entertainment if it weren't for the funereal pacing, which may kill its appeal among young audiences.
50
Amiable though slow-going.
40
Clunky and obvious.
30
Despite the overplotting, there's scarcely any of the characterization that might have made some of it interesting.
