Well what can I say, what an awesome movie, I was left a bit speechless at the credits, we even had a round of applause in the cinema on a mon night, it's been a long time since I've heard that. Pixar have proved once again that they really are the undisputed champions of the animation world. Brad Bird has elevated himself yet again, the script kept moving and surprising, I loved the camera work especially, everything came together. Loved the Pixar short "Lifted" too a nice comeback for Pixar.
I do wish Pixar would take a few more risks and step out of the family safe genre, but you can't really blame em can you?
I also noticed a bit of a Brad Bird trend going on too. His stories always seem to be about special misunderstood characters, sort of autobiographical I can't help but think. There's a great interview at the spline doctors with Brad Bird which lends some info into why he'd want to make movies about talented characters being ignored by their worlds.
