I like his storytelling and inventiveness &#8211; if sometimes reluctantly, for excessive use of pathos -, but visually he consistently seems to be balancing on the fringes of a realm of exuberant quirkyness and fantasy running wild that gives me the creeps for all the wrong reasons.

But several of the ideas here are so enjoyable (the birdmonkeys, sphinx\/cats and the pair of giants being just three of the more memorable), that the flaws don&#8217;t much matter.
