Gorgeous and a lot of fun..great Randy Newman score!

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 1998)

A great deal of fun for any age, though I wouldn't bring kids under 7 or so just due to the sheer INTENSITY of it all. Gorgeous landscape and character work looks great in the Cinemascope format! Randy Newman's score is a treat. Franticly paced! Funny bits throughout and ...a plus...no really crappy songs to slow down the action.
My only minor quibble with this otherwise impressive film is that it was TOO DAMNED LOUD! I'm a man in my thirties who still goes to rock and roll shows, but the effects in this film were a bit assaultive. Too many really loud helicopter effects (for the winged insects) ...it all adds to the FRANTIC pace of the film, but I thought was a little much.
But in general....way to go Pixar!!!!
