The details were in there, they just weren't obvious like in the 
Columbus films. 

For me, that makes it the better film. I prefer discovering new 
nuances, touches, and revelations with each viewing, instead of 
pointedly having it spelled out for me. 

And I don't buy the "it's a kids' movie" arguement by any 
stretch...Dark Crystal, Iron Giant, and Watership Down are also for 
kids...But those films are handled with respect for under-aged 
audience's ability to deduce things. ;-)
