We left after about 45 minutes

Rating: 1/10 (28 November 2004)

The entire setup should have taken perhaps 10 minutes. The script was clunky, and the dialog was mundane, boring, and trite. The chemistry between the characters was missing. Very little of the cleverness I usually associate with Pixar. Usually I'm laughing from the opening credits, but this one had me searching for something to find redeeming. Even the opening cartoon was weird, tho I credit Pixar for bringing back the wonderful tradition of a cartoon before the main feature.
I just couldn't relate with the characters and the whole premise.
On the plus side, the animation work was very nicely done. We got our money back after asking politely at the front desk.
I suppose I'll have to rent it to see what happened in the latter 45 minutes. Please enlighten me as to what I missed!
