Includes what may be arguably the most perfect 3 or 4 movie minutes ever

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2010)

*WARNING -- SPOILERS (but not that give the plot point away)* In my estimation, the "silent film" snapshots showing Carl and Ellie's entire life, from marriage to her death, including and especially their sorrow at the loss of the baby, is one of the most perfect pieces of film I have ever seen, live action or animated.
When it is done, you feel you have lived their lives with them, loved, laughed and cried with them.
Simply amazing how much was shared in such a short time.
And it really established the framework for Carl in the rest of the movie.
