Wonderful! An animated classic.

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2012)

A truly enchanting film that has so much to offer. From it's witty but gentle lampooning of 1950's cold war hysteria. To it's classic looking animation style, which brings to mind story books and Disney films of years past. It's snappy pace and careful script mean that it's likely to hold the attention of it's younger viewers.
Most importantly it's story is a heartfelt retelling of a very old one, the misunderstood monster. But it's warm and uplifting take on this makes it all the more a thing of wonder, it's obvious that the making of this movie was a real labour of love. A must see for animation lovers of all ages, sure to stand the test of time as a true classic family movie.
For those of you who might be put off by the Vin Diesel credit, don't worry it could have easily been anyone, the robot thankfully isn't much of talker!
