Movies are made to entertain.
Using the words from another Disney gem Ratatouille, "In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
Screw the critics and their 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I'll trust the 7.2k Amazon reviews that assigned this movie 4.7 out of 5, the 79% rating from Google and my family who LOVE this movie!!! Let go of your hang ups and just be entertained. This movie is in our family's annual Halloween lineup along with Nightmare Before Christmas!!
Hoping the reboot is a winner too!
