So balanced and enjoyable

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2015)

This was one of the most enjoyable films I have watched in quite some time, and is one that I believe I'll continue to enjoy even years down the road after viewing it multiple times.
It offers great balance to the story and is pleasing to a wide range of audiences. The session I went to watch in the cinemas had people old enough to be my father and kids young enough o be my own all getting heavily engaged and enjoying the film.
If I were to be completely objective, I should in fact be giving this film a score of about 8.5. It has a good story, good actions scenes with good animation, and a very healthy serving of humour, making it an exceptional movie. Unsurprisingly there are elements that are quite predictable, which would prevent it from being a flawless film, but given the emotional response it can evoke, and just the sheer enjoyment it gave me watching it, I was quite happy to give it a perfect 10.
This movie, despite being targeted primarily at a much younger audience than me, really captivated me. I was always engaged, and never left wanting, which combined with the fact that it struck a few personal notes with me too, meant that it was by far the most enjoyable film I've watched in recent years.
Very impressed with it, and highly recommend it to anyone, of any age.
