It is, in fact, very Pixarian. Someone at Dreamworks went to storytelling class. The movie made me quite curious about the books. I got to say, the illustrations in the books made me laugh a lot.
What's great is that the movie is surprisingly touching. I teared up in a couple of places.
And something that I think may be overlooked as well is the great score the film has. I found it to be quite wonderful.
