The beauty of pixar just a bit more "grown-up"

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2009)

I went to go see this movie with my two little sisters about a week after it's release and from that release date to the time I went to see it every person I knew was talking. Of course of love Pixar, I begged my parents to take me to see Toy Story, and what I saw in this movie was everything I would have expected plus a little more. The film I saw was not just a children's' comedy but a true heartfelt story. I give this movie a nine only for the reason that my youngest sister was asking me, "Alex, were is the old man's lady friend?" and I didn't have the heart to tell her.
Pros: This movie is so funny. The comedy is well timed to get the best effect. I.E. When the large intimidating doberman turns around to speak and the squeaky voice is heard.
The characters are colorful and full of life and personality. I found myself genuinely wanting to just walk up and tell them that everything was going to be OK.
The story will bring you to tears. The movie is about an older man going to a far off land to fulfill his dead wife's dream of becoming an explorer.
The graphics are well done, very lively and nice.
Cons: Some of the film's nature is a bit unsuitable for children. Such as the woman losing her child/not being to have a child, the realistic violence, the villain falling to his death, and the child protagonist having a dead-beat dad.
overall, this movie is the beauty of Pixar with just a bit of an adult touch. Don't worry though, they all live happily ever after.
