Yes, if one takes the setting seriously. I think one of the reasons why I'm so disappointed with it is that it gets the causality wrong on an important story--the move from collectivist duty to individual autonomy did not happen because people asked for it, but because people became wealthy enough to afford it.
I must have lower expectations than you -- it's a Hollywood cartoon movie aimed at small kids, probably not even preteens. "Getting causality right on an important story" is nowhere near its goals.
I didn't like it much, but that's just because it wasn't particularly emotionally engaging or funny (e.g. in the way Shrek has a lot of for-adults jokes liberally sprinkled through the whole thing).
