Such a great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2018)

Such a great movie. Really creative. Really entertaining and well done. I love Dash's chase scene. I love the sequence of Helen getting stuck in all the doors. It's brilliant comedy and taking advantage of the sticky situations someone who can stretch can find herself in. I'm kind of astonished at the dark/adult content this movie deals with. Suicide? dead family? Playing getting sucked into a jet engine for laughs? Not to mention one of the most grisly Disney deaths I can think of (Others to me would be Bugs Life and Tarzan). That scene of the jet getting blown up always gets me emotionally. It's super tense and you understand both Helen and Violet's viewpoint of asking Violet to put a force-field around the plane. You're pulling for Violet and yet feel the frustration and fear of Helen. It's edited so well. Ug! I'm gushing. It's also refreshing to see a full family in a family movie. Disney has a lot of broken/single-parents and I get it. It saves money to not have siblings or two parents. it's less complicated. it makes kids like that feel better. But it's so nice to see a movie about family and about what they can accomplish together and show what a family can be. It's really encouraging. One of Pixar's best. Oh, and Edna is wonderful. duh
