Snowflake.

my 4 year old and I will be seeing it tomorrow. Pretty excited for this one.

We saw it last night and it was fantastic.

It was slightly predictable but has very engaging characters (loved the abuelas).

The animation was incredible and the movie is very visually appealing.

The music was nice and I was happy there were no WTF song and dance numbers (Shiny from Moana, for example).

If you're taking small kids just know there are a few sad (some in kind of a good way) moments. 1 of the 2 tween girls cried and so did I (also a girl). There were lots of humorous moments as well.

We waited through the credits and there was no extra scene like they often do. I was disappointed about that.

This is a movie we'll buy as soon as it's out on iTunes. I wouldn't mind seeing it again before it leaves theaters.

Double post.

Yeah I was disappointed there wasn't a Pixar short. I read this acts as a bridge to the next Frozen. It was fine but my wife and both kids asked if it was the movie because it was so long.

Yeah, I watched it today. Another home run for Pixar. In the immediate it sits with me as a Top 3 that they’ve done, but I’ll let it sit for a while before saying that definitively.

But just everything about is great. The story, the characters, the music, the animation, the environment, and the themes. It’s being presented to audiences as a combination between these two films, and you definitely feel Ratatouille in it, but save for the concept and the bridge I didn’t feel Spirited Away, which is a good thing. They take it in whole other direction than both of them by the end. It’s very powerfully moving, and there aren’t many dry eyes in the house in the end (I teared up I’ll admit it).

And now I would like to call out idiots like VoxDawg and especially Parmen. Y’all looked at the movie as simply having brown people and taking place in Mexico and decided to declare it identity politics/virtue signaling bullshite. Here’s the thing: it’s the most conservative values movie I’ve seen released in years. It’s all about endorsing the importance of family values, respecting your elders, holding up traditions, respect for religious beliefs, and how music can bring people together. It is every bit as conservative as the Incredibles is. This film will be cited for decades when it comes to being a conservative.

So unless you’re on the Alt-Right who thinks it’s absurd that brown people can hold similar values or an SJW who is outraged for suggesting most Mexicans like tequila (which is shown several times in the movie), then you should like it. It’s an instant classic and a very powerful film. It will be passed down for generations, “Remember Me” should be nominated for the Oscar as best song, and it’s a lock for Best Animated Feature and has a shot at being nominated for Best Picture.

I wouldn't mind seeing this in the theaters just for the animation alone.

Incredibles has also been, somewhat reasonably, been considered "conservative." It has your family values thing, plus it has the whole Harrison Bergeron thing going for it: don't let other people guilt/force you into not using your entire skillset.

...and Wall-E had the typically leftist pro-environmental theme (which I fully support, but not to the point of killing our economy), but accompanied it with a heavy dose of "don't be a fat lazy frick." They make great movies with great messages.
