The mix of computer generated graphics and traditional animation was a bad choice, and the director, along with the protagonist, kept forgetting about the dog; which annoyed me. Otherwise an awesome story, some super cheesy villains, and the cool bearded man were enough to make up for its partial lameness. That and the strangely stirring ending did a lot to sweeten the after taste. "It is idiotic to attack with your hair. You think I'm bald for no reason?" lol, I totally misquoted that...
