Goddamn it, Pixar does it again.
This film is just awesome. Somehow you get a trippy animated adventure film that also manages to examine the darkness that festers in men’s hearts, hearts congested with loneliness, anger and obsession.
And yes, it is 3-D but the film employs none of the typical 3-D gags. Honestly, I can’t believe the number of people I’ve heard complain about this. I think this is what 3-D will be like when (if) most films adopt the technology. Like sound, color and Cinemascope, the medium will find subtle ways to blend this technology into the storytelling.
Oh, and how I adored that opening montage. Damn, Pixar really knows how to do silent film right.
