Very, VERY nice.

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2004)

Definitely a film worth seeing.
It wasn't perfect, but I'm planning on seeing it a good number of times before it leaves the theaters. The animation was fantastic, as we've come to expect from Pixar, no worries there. And the scripting was very nicely done. I can definitely see why it has a PG rating, but all in all I don't think that it's something that a kid couldn't watch (I mean, The Justice League is generally darker and more violent as it is).
I could understand how a traditional Pixar fan might not like this one, though. This is a step away from their normal "Epic fairy tale" story. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind you, but don't go expecting to see another Monsters, Inc.
My only real problem with the film was the lack of characterization. The characters of Dash and Violet - Violet especially - deserved more story time so that we could get to know her. This is a long film as it is, though, so cutting off a little of the many characters in this story is understandable.
8.9/10
