Watched this one from Netflix. Overall, good movie, but I wasn't "wow-ed". I love cartoons, as I think they're delightfully silly fun. But it's a mini-shame, and a HUGE testament to Pixar, that Pixar has set the bar so high now for animated movies that every other one has to match up. It's a tough bar to reach. Before "A Bug's Life" and "Toy Story", cartoons were just fun diversions that could be cranked out every few months. But Pixar showed that an animated flick done right can be a DELIGHT.
Anyway, to this particular movie--not bad, but storyline was kind of so-so, music did nicely but didn't gel perfectly, and animation was pretty good, but not great. It got better, I thought, over the course of the movie.
I'll give it :3: out of :5:
(I'll probably still end up buying this one for the kid collection)
