Boy, was I impressed!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2010)

I watched this film without having seen any trailers or heard about the movie after finding myself with a full Alice in Wonderland Monday showcase. I love animated films so I went along with my friend to this one instead.
In the past Dreamworks pieces had made me yawn (with the exception of Kung Fu Panda and the Shrek series) and for starters the title and poster image made me think this was going to be a rather stupid movie. The fact that only 5 people, me included, where in the 10 p.m. showing didn't help to bring my expectations up.
Boy was I wrong! The story follows a good crafted arch with a nice tempo, showcasing some of the most impressive and beautiful CG imaging I've seen. I don't feel like going into details about why I loved this film so much: most critics (which I've read after returning home) and other reviewers have done the job better than I could ever do. Suffice to say that characters, animation, art direction and plot are top notch, enough to make me write my first review on IMDb to encourage others to share the experience.
Go take your kids or watch this one by yourself, specially in 3D like I did. It is simply a beautiful, fun and spectacular piece of work!
