Everything to like, nothing to dislike

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2004)

This is probably my favorite Pixar picture to date. The animation is top-notch, including several very high-speed action scenes. The characters are believable, and arguably developed quite well, not to mention very well-cast (particularly Gilbert Huph, played by Wallace Shawn, whose brief appearance is reminiscent of his role as The Great Vizzini in "The Princess Bride"). There's just enough satire and predictability to both satisfy and amuse all but the most critical audience. And the humor is prevalent throughout, but never detracts from the point. All in all, I'd say it's everything you could want in a movie. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, and I'm sure I'll be seeing it again soon.
