Adventure is out there!

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2010)

I generally stay away from animation as I am interesting in acting not cartoons. However, this is nominated for a Golden Globe, and will likely get an Oscar nomination, so I am forced to watch it.
The color is fantastic. They are rich and varied, and I could really enjoy it just for that.
What is really cool about this film is the fact that it is about two elderly men, Carl (Edward Asner) and Charles (Christopher Plummer), and a little boy, Russell (Jordan Nagai), who is not a know-it-all kid. And, of course, a dog (Bob Peterson) that talks.
The escape from the dogs was as exciting as anything I've seen from Indiana Jones. My mouth was agape the entire time! There is s much story here that it is worth watching again and again.
