Belated review A PERFECT 10

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2015)

This review is so important that I wanted to watch the film three or four times with a pause in between... so here we are 6 years after the release.
And I can tell you that this is not merely a "10" but one of the best films of all time.
In the Olympics they only give 10s to "perfect" performances. After four viewings, I can see this film is flawless. The story never gets dull or predictable. Every child can relate to the "grass is always greener" syndrome and every adult can relate to being a child. The dialog is so sharp it hurts. The voice actors are astounding. The animation is the best I have ever seen next to Little Price and that comparison is not fair but that specific film did not exist in 2009. (It was released in 2015).
I loved the cat. This could be the only film in history that not only has a cat co-star but the cat always acts ... like a cat.
I will see this film several more times in the years ahead. That is a promise.
Watch it because it is fun. Watch it to be entertained. Watch it to see what perfection looks like.
