The Best Animated Movie. Period.

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2014)

This is, by far, the best animated movie I have ever seen. Every aspect, the animation, storytelling, character development, humor—everything—works. Having seen the first movie, I had very high expectations in seeing this and, I assure you, it surpassed every last one of them. This is the most complex, "kids movie," that has ever been made. The storytelling aspects are light years ahead of any other movie of its genre that I've seen— and I have seen a lot. It has enough humor and good enough pace to keep children entertained and even more so for adults; kids will like the movie, adults will love and appreciate its intricacies. Never before, in any animated movie that I have ever watched have I cried, laughed, and felt awe like I did with this one. Each minute, every second, you will find yourself in love with this world that has been so expertly crafted. The detail and attention that has been put into this movie, the subtle nuances of emotion and the strikingly real portrayal of the human condition, makes this, not only the best of animated movies, but one of the best movies period! This is filmmaking in its finest; it's not a way to make quick money, but a way to communicate to viewers what makes being a good person, someone who is caring and selfless—all the things that we, as people, should aspire to be—worth it. And after seeing this movie you will realize something: it definitely is worth it. This is a masterpiece! 10/10!
