A great animated movie

In fact, I already saw this movie many times, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released, but my girlfriend was quite eager to see it so I watched it again with her. It was such a great pleasure to watch this movie again though. Indeed, even if it is not my favorite from Pixar (‘Wall-E’ remains my favorite so far), it is still a great picture though. To be honest, I hope Pixar will make more masterpieces in the future but their more features (‘Brave’, ‘Cars 2, ‘Monsters University’, The Good Dinosaur’, ‘Finding Dory’, ‘Onward’, …) were very often rather disappointing. Not this one though. Above all, they gave us probably the best introduction I have ever seen in an animated picture. Indeed, the first ten minutes were among the most mind-blowing animated moments I have ever experienced in my life. This heartbreaking introduction was actually the best part in this feature. So daring, so emotional, only Pixar could pull something like that. After that, I have to admit it, the movie did have a hard time trying to live up to this heartbreaking start-up and it was pretty tricky to start up with the very best they had to offer but, still, I think the end-result was really impressive. Of course, the animation was just gorgeous but, above all, it is really amazing how they managed to create such a touching and entertaining story starring a grumpy old guy, a fat Asian kid, a talking dog and a weird bird. No offense but I'm still waiting from something that great ever coming from DreamWorks. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is a great achievement, one of the best animated features ever made, it is definitely worth a look and a must-see if you like the genre.
