We just saw it and loved it! Simple movie. Simple plot. Simple characters. Pleasant soundtrack. A-MAZ-ING graphics*! Flawless and brilliant execution! Director Brad Bird proves that less is more. You will like it and so will the kids.
Word to the wise though: make sure that whatever you eat before the show was good and either home cooked or a decently prepared meal. Elysa and I were on the run before the show and snagged a quick meal from the Wendy's Super Value 99¢ menu. We felt guilty after watching a movie dedicated to reminding the masses that cooking is, and ought, to be an art. Now I am begging Elysa to cook me something because she is an AMAZING chef!
And yes, for those of you who had your doubts about Elysa's domestic capabilities, I dare you to try her Linguine Bolognese or her Pulled Pork Tacos. The new recipe that she just whipped up for the first time the other day was her Orange Peel Beef Stir Fry. Mmmmm... hearty chunks of steak in red bell peppers, fresh broccoli and onion in this light orange glaze on fluffy white rice. The presentation only pales in comparison to the taste... oh so yummy!
*The animation was beyond real. Notice the fur on the animals, especially when it was wet, the reflections off glossy surfaces and the sheen of a leather coat. It won't be long before Pixar starts really toying around with decent humans that aren't ghost-like. It maybe within my lifetime that actors are pushed back onto the stage. Video may have killed the Radio Star, but computer animation has definitely set it's sight on the Video Star and just might win.
