Big Kids will love it too

Most of the other reviewers have referred to this as a "kid's" movie. I have friend's like that too. We grew up with the movies and the early days of television. All the animations on TV were cartoons and played on Saturday mornings. At the box office there were the cell animations, mostly Disney feature length films. So in many minds there has been an equation of animation equals children.

Times have changed. Try dropping the stereotype from your consciousness and just watch and listen. The animation is exquisite. The music is tremendous. The story is fun and interesting. Are you too mature for a flea that can sing and dance and play the guitar? Too bad for you.
