But don't expect it to be a classic Pixar film like Coco, Up, Walle, or Toy Story 1-3.Ħ.4/10 The nostalgia was there for ten minutes and then it went away as the story trails away into something that just didn't sit right. I'd say it's a good time at the theater and better than the average score right now of 5.8. Most kids will probably like it a bit more than adults and not notice or care much about the politically controversial content unless their guardians have already primed them to have an major opinion about it like them. Overall it will be acceptable to most audiences, with the robot cat being a likely favorite character for many viewers. But it wasn't awful like a lot of kids movies either and didn't detract much from the drama of the main story. I didn't think a lot of the comedy landed well for me. I also think the twist could have been established a little better than it was. Overall I wonder how the movie would have looked if it had explored a B storyline for another character during some of the time-jumps.


The main protagonist's circumstance were less sympathetic and more a result of his actual decisions. In some ways it reminded me of an inferior "Up". The animation is very good, the story is solid even if it feels like a lot of the ideas have been done before in different ways and feels like a few ideas didn't quite work as well as possible. Overall I found the movie better than what I was expecting based on it's IMDB score, but still far from being a Pixar classic. And those reviewer who make the movie all about those things seem to say more about themself in their review than the movie itself. I'll address that quickly: None of that seemed like a big selling-point or issue with the movie to me. This film seems to spark a lot of people to say that this film is completely terrible or that it's completely fabulous because it included a gay relationship in the periphery of the main story, and to an even lesser extent, a convict character who is sympathetic.
