Essentially, this is sci-fi with a heart, albeit one made entirely of cheese.

It has no real competition as this season's reigning fairy tale.

Director Ron Howard brings a quality of gentleness and whimsy to the performances, but basically this is a highly calculated project brought in by those two old pros, producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown.
