The perfect fairy tale, sans the fairy

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2009)

Pixar does it again and serves up another brilliant success after Wall-E. And this time it's all in 3D, mom, and it works really well and sucks you right in.
The less I tell you about this movie from now on, the better, but IMDb forces me to rave on a bit before I can publish this review, so here goes. The movie starts with the touching story of Carl and Ellie's relationship (almost) from cradle to grave. End of story. Now the good times are gone, Ellie is dead and Carl about to be shipped off to a retirement home. And NOW the story starts for real, this time as a brilliantly surreal, candy-coloured fantasy with floating houses, wayward boyscouts and talking dogs.
I liked it -- but check it out yourself. Tastes differ. The only thing I will guarantee is that it's great entertainment for kids and adults.
