What failed, really, was the puppet they had for Magenta right at the end. All those fancy special effects, and they couldn't do a half-decent CGI mockup of a guinea pig, or even managed to use a real one with a few camera tricks? Ah well. Up until then, though, everything was brilliant.
As #1 goes, you have a good point. With how much emphasis there was on family ties in that film, they could have worked that part in a lot more.
As #2 goes... well, yeah, goofy, but something I'm exploring with my characters in City of Heroes is just how being in a role can cause one to take on the affectations of that role over time. Of course, my characters are in a different situation, and neither of them chose to be villains, so... I'm willing to chalk this one up to the old maxim of, "You can afford to be a goof in public when you're a supervillain's henchman." Um... yeah.
And you're dead on about #3. Buy, hey, it's like this, and I'll remix a quote from the film... "If movie plots ever started being deep, it wouldn't happen in a Disney film."
