Took the kids to see this over the weekend and I was blown away by how good, and entertaining, this movie was. The visuals are simply a feast for the eyes, the storyline is compelling, and the dialogue is clever and the characters are engaging. Addressing themes like the dumbing down of school standards, the "political correctness" trends, and the scourge of frivolous litigation, this movie isn't just for kids! It presents a refreshing and non-patronizing emphasis on the virtue of good-old-fashioned family values. I recommend it to all. My favorite movie of the year, by far.
Keep alert as you watch and you'll enjoy tons of rich details in the background. One thing that's especially a treat is the style in the '50s "mod" architecture. The office scenes are priceless. And if you're a "car guy", pay attention to the cars, you'll love it.
Cheers to Pixar for a job VERY well done.
