Enjoyable --- Mr Sensitive

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2009)

Yes, another movie from Pixar!!! That name alone is a quality assurance. Though I must admit that I didn’t quite find this movie any improvement from their previous, but it is still very much fun to watch and enjoy myself.
The story is brilliant as always - really moving and humorous. And who could forget that 5 minutes montages, visually explain the story of Carl’s life without words. This time around the Pixar decide to take a little turn as we look as life itself rather than other point of view like their previous film – Toys, Bugs, Monsters, and so on. But they still managed to keep all the charm by adding such a lovable character to talking dogs, and colourful birds.
Anyway the story is beautiful, only problem was at the time I have already seen most of the funny stuff in the trailer; so many of the stuff didn’t come much of a surprise to me. The flow of the movie is just great and with Russell (Little scout) around, everything is so lively and very much cute!! Also his stoutness and little beady eyes, added to the cuteness. There is a pretty good chemistry between almost every character. Though, despite all the praise I have for the movie (maybe a little bias) I still the movie lack one thing that really woos me. I’m not sure what it is? Maybe it was set in the ‘60s, or did I find the colour a little old and not colourful enough, or the backdrop was just plain and almost empty - I’m not sure.
But overall I’m sure I will like it a whole lot better after a while and re-watch it. I’m pretty much sure about that!!! And the kids will absolutely love it.
Season to Watch: It’s Pixar!!! Russell is really a lovable character.
Reason Not To: Personal Dislike of animated film.
