Don't know why this is so highly rated

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2018)

Don't get me wrong, it's fun and ticks a lot of boxes - indeed the whole endeavour seems to have been planned with that in mind.
I love cartoons, or animated features, as they are weightily called nowadays, and my earliest cinematic memories are of Peter Pan, Dumbo and Bambi - films that I treasure to this day. And people are doing fantastic things with the medium now, so The Incredibles, Monsters and WALL.E have joined the classics among my favourites.
I like that the film addresses an interesting theme and a culture, but I enjoyed Book Of Life more, although both are refreshing and bring so much colour and liveliness to the screen.
However, there are a great many animations that I rate more highly, not to mention other films in other areas. So I think 6 is about right for this one. I was enchanted by Inside Out, but only gave it an 8 (the same as classics such as Snow White and Fantasia), since there are aspects of it that are aimed at a younger audience.
