Take note that the film isn't only critically acclaimed, it also seemed to do well financially, grossing around $100 million outside the US. Plus, it features the voices of some well-known actors, including Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, James Franco and Marion Cotillard. Whatever the reason is, Netflix is the chosen avenue of delivery for all viewers in the States who want to see the CGI/stop-motion offering. Too bad you won't be able to watch it on a big screen -- unless you have a gargantuan TV -- and it won't arrive on the streaming service until later this year. But at least one month of Netflix only costs $8.99, and you can play it again and again for the kids.
