More Fun for Adults than Kids

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2004)

My wife and I went and saw this last night. It is one of the best animated films I've seen in a long time. Everything Pixar does is high quality, but this was especially good. Considering how our country is in a state of jeopardy when in comes to family, with the high divorce rates and number of broken homes, it was refreshing to see a film where a family stuck together despite their imperfections. In the theater, there were plenty of children, though I'll have to say the ones who seemed to enjoy it most were the adults, who did a lot more laughing than the kids did. Several of the themes in the movie were a bit mature in my mind for the younger viewers. Even so, the jokes were funny, the action scenes were thrilling, and it had a plot that kept my attention. 9/10
