Surprisingly, this is a particularly great movie for fathers

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2020)

This is definitely one of the very best animated movies I've ever seen in modern times, and the reviews already make that clear. What I see in this movie that others haven't brought up is that it's a great story for fathers, despite not having any actual fatherhood in the story. The personal struggles of Ralph throughout the movie and as he meets the other main character are a pretty good reflection of what it's like to become a dad. Mixed emotions, uncertainty about one's place after a long time in the same path, making all kinds of mistakes--it's basically all there. In a society where women are valued and men are disposable, this story does a great job of showing off the humanity behind the social expectations of masculinity. It's heartwarming to see the growth of a flawed outcast as he finds his place in society, learns how to change his weaknesses into strengths, learns to rely on others to help him with what he can't accomplish on his own, and becomes a positive influence on others as he finds his own happiness.
I've narrowly dodged dropping spoilers so that you can see what I'm talking about for yourself if you haven't already watched this movie. Even if you're not in the target demographics (kids and thirty-something males) you can take a lot of good things away from this movie. It's absolutely worth a watch. If this review is still around in 20 years,l and you saw this as a kid, give it another watch and you'll get so much more out of it.
