Ten times better than Shrek!!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2001)

I loved this movie, as did my kids and my wife. It was very funny, very exciting, and surprisingly moving. I admit it--I cried. I also felt riveted to my seat. John Goodman and Billy Crystal were perfect. The "door machine chase" at the end was unforgettable. I've been a little let down by Pixar--LOVED Toy Story, liked Bug's Life, liked Toy Story 2--but this one brought the magic completely back. And made me realize just how overrated Shrek was. I laughed at this movie more, it was completely emotionally satisfying, taught a great message, and the story never stopped moving (unlike Shrek, which didn't really seem to have anyplace to go). Give this one the Oscar!
