Yeah, I have heard that it is ok in that it is pretty much a movie for kids with lots of references to in-game concepts and history and doesn't try to do much beyond that (which is probably exactly what it should be - hence why it is doing well).
Oh, you have a loom and you are doing something with it? That sounds pretty neat. I just have knitting needles which I haven't felt inspired to pick up in a few years (since I am not really sure what to make).
