This was for me by far one of the best movie-going experiences in recent memory. The sheer joy and excitement and attention to details and humor and seriousness and deep philosophical insight and revelations mixed together in a wonderful soup or ratatouille or whatever dish you may think of made this movie I dare say Pixar's finest masterpiece to date.
And here I thought The Incredibles would be on top for many many years to come. Well, if it's not beaten, then it surely has been beaten aside on the top of the prize-pedestal. Like Steve Jobs is doing with the iPod's and the computer, music and movie industries, so is Lasseter, Bird and Catmull doing with animated movies in a tour-de-force that will surely be remembered in the history books as a Renaissance in movie-making.
Isn't it wonderful sometimes to be reminded how great it is to live in times like these?
