LWA is a heartwarming feel-good story, full of little character quirks and bits that anyone can interpret as "cutesy" or "whimsical", which does not mean it's bad or that it isn't the right approach. I loved it, it's among the best things in the year.

If Ben didn't like it because of its tone, so be it, I don't agree with it. At least he recognizes it's excellently made. But really the comparison to Tweeny Witches should tip you off about what he meant with "edgier and darkier" (and conversely, with "cutesy and whimsical").
