Silent sleeper film of 2015, perfect for kids and adults.

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2015)

This movie, believe it or not, is about to become the number one animated sci fi of all time, beating out wall-e. It will likely stay at the number two spot, but i know that it is still out in theaters, it is possible it just might pull through. I was shocked to learn this after seeing it because I hadn't heard much about it. No chatter from friends or family, no posts on Facebook, no ads on billboards, just one trailer I saw a few months back.
Well, I am glad that is has proved to be a rampant success at the box office, even though no one seems to be talking about it. The film deserves its spot as the number two domestic grossing animated sci-fi film, although it really doesn't have much to compare itself too. Looking at the list on box office mojo, Monsters vs Aliens, Lilo and Stitch, Chicken Little, Mr Peabody, and Meet the Robinsons fall behind it. As the list goes on, I see many movies that are more action than sci-fi, suggesting they had to push movies that don't belong on this list into this list. And where are films like Monsters Inc., Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, and all the other mega hits that could fall into this genre? Possibly because they are more fiction than science fiction?
Even though there may be some missing from their classification, I am ecstatic that this film has done really well, hoping it opens the door for more future films that are more sci-fi than complete fiction. Promoting science, creativity, and intelligence as a desirable trait to our youth is something that we don't see enough of these days. When I was growing up, I wish I had been blessed with the opportunity to see movies promoting these core values, rather than the animated films in my youth which promoted acceptance of self and tolerance of others... I'd probably be a successful scientist by now :)
Overall definitely suggest the movie, humor had me laughing out loud and chuckling to myself throughout. There are some dry spots in the middle and drawn out scenes, but I really cared for all the characters and they didn't do any thing too cliché or over the top. Good for kids and fun for adults, teenagers should even love this movie since the main character is 14.
