Fun for Adults too - like saltwater taffy for the eyes!

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2001)

My friend coerced me into catching this kiddy movie on it's release date, even though all the commercial marketing for Monster Inc has already blanketed the stores with shelves of merchandise (so plastique - poor kiddies..)
Seemed that pixar/disney knew they had something ~especial~ twirling on their thumbs with this piece. Their confidence was apparent as the audience was treated to a sweet little pixar appetizer to whet our appetites before the real show (birds).
We were surrounded by children of all ages at this 1:30 matinee - I do not recall ever being around so many children outside of grammer school (and I wondered why these parents all felt keeping their children home for this release was truly a wise decision).
Regardless - their presence only seemed to sweeten the experience. I am not going to spill any beans - it's all about savoring the originality, artistic and technical wonders of this little dessert of a movie. Enjoy it waist-high in children, even if you have none of your own - Go and smile.
