A Real Winner on so many Levels

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2009)

The first 10 minutes of this file, done without almost without dialog, are brilliant and poignant. They alone were almost worth the price of the film. The rest of it was pretty good too. I have never seen a bad Pixar film but I think this one was their best so far.
It's an adventure on several levels - the kids can enjoy the action and adventure but there is plenty in the film for the adults as well. It really isn't about plot twists and turns but more the trip through life.
I don't want to write spoilers but I was moved when Carl discovered Ellie's book had more pages and her take on her life's adventures.
Unfortunately, I know all together too many young boys in Russel's position.
I recommend this film highly.
