I thought this was going to be a really strange film. In a sense, it was, but it still manages to be one of the best films Pixar has made to date (which is realling frickin' saying something). The characters are fleshed out and awesome, the humor is some of the best I've seen, the story is thought out, poignant and touching, and of course, the animation and 3d work is unmatched.What really struck me, though, were the morals and themes of the story. I felt pretty imersed in the whole "adventure" vibe the movie had going, but felt one thing wasn't taken into account... until about 2/3 through, when this nuance was adressed beautifully. One of the best Pixar moments ever, in fact.
So yeah, it's in my top 3-4 Pixar films (they're all so amazing that it's hard to pick).
In a sentence:
Genius storytelling and themes, awesome characters and 3D, and some of the best humor I've seen in a while. Another classic from Pixar.
Note: I will probably update this post once I inevitably see it in its original English version. In the meantime, the Quebec translation was actually very very good.
