Of course, my favorite Pixar is Finding Nemo, so I've always enjoyed the lighter stuff from them. <BR/><BR/>Without ruining anything, I'll say the first 10 minutes of the movie are largely silent, and do as good a job at succinctly summing up the main character as those first 30 minutes of Wall-E. Also they will make you cry! In the first 10 minutes! Those Pixar geeks are evil geniuses, that's for sure.Kateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602654660381174664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-60989267972629469392009-03-11T19:08:00.000-04:002009-03-11T19:08:00.000-04:00I think it is going to be a 7/10 movie for me.

The folks at Pixar know that the bar has been set unreachably high for their next offering by the critical and box office success of "Wall-E", so they are trotting out what is, for them, relatively ordinary material. This will let folks recalibrate their expectations so that Pixar can kill with their subsequent release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-53703283214374772522009-03-11T15:10:00.000-04:002009-03-11T15:10:00.000-04:00Yeah, I get a Monsters, Inc./Bug's Life vibe from ...Yeah, I get a <I>Monsters, Inc.</I>/<I>Bug's Life</I> vibe from it.
