I decided to watch this animation today and mainly enjoyed it for its music, because I was less fond of the animation - at least at the start of the film.
As the film progressed, it achieved a stronger sense of cohesion and built itself into something wonderful.
Overall, a movie that's rough around the edges isn't worthy of a strong recommendation to all, but I would note that any fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas should consider watching Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart.
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 92% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

Instant Comments:
The lip movement isn't well animated.
Some of the initial music clashes with the ambiance of the movie.
I didn't realize this movie would be a musical.
This duet between Jack and the girl was beautiful.
Oh my gosh. I wonder how this movie will end.
George Melies. (director of A Trip to the Moon)
Backdrop references A Trip to the Moon.
I think the music that plays is the same music as A Trip to the Moon.
Ah, the windmills from earlier reminded me of Don Quixote and here George Melies references Don Quixote.
Holy crap. (That ending.)
