SEEN IT!
( no spoilers follow... its safe to read on if you haven't been yet)


And OMG... this is just astoundingly good. Loved every second of it. BAWLED my eyes out more than anything else... so my advice to those yet to see it, take tissues and don't wear mascara. :wink:

Pixar have done it again. Another brilliant tale.
Will definitely be going to see this one again on the big screen.... the depth of the whole thing is vast....

No spoiler follows but I do discuss emotional responses.





I didn't wouldn't to give too much away by mentioning you needed tissues. Even my husband got a bit choked up! Some of the themes ran quite close to the heart!

It was simply amazing, Pixar have found a perfect way to tell a tale on a scale that the littlest kids and adults can all enjoy on different levels. The animation during flight scenes was stunning. I will have to check it out in 3d now. I can only imagine its better again.

There were times I forgot I was looking at animation!

Saw it in 3D last night. WOW! I loved it. All the build up and hype was worth it. And to all those who said it was emotional? Yep, I agree. I went and saw My Sister's Keeper :oops: with the ladies (wife and kids) and that was not emotional, even though they were all blubbering. But this was different on all levels. Made you think about so much.

We plan on seeing it on Saturday at Gold Class 3D. I'll make sure I take a whole box of tissues with me since I cry at McDonalds TV commercials these days. :oops:

We are going this Saturday as well - don't know where we are seeing it, but it will definitely be in a 3D cinema.

Loved it! First of all, I loved Gold Class. Craig and I had never done it before but we will definitely be doing it again. It was our first time out alone since we had Jared (who is now 8 months!!!) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The movie... well I have to say I think it is probably my favourite Pixar film to date. It was just so thoroughly engaging. The characters were well developed and scripted so I could really feel for them. I know I had tears streaming down my face more than once and we were both laughing out loud quite often. At one stage I didn't think Craig would be able to stop laughing :lol: It was good in 3D, I don't know how different it will be without it though, I think it will still be spectacular.

Looking forward to getting this one on DVD :)

We saw it last night as well - it was great (Della cried - she also thought it was the best Pixar film).

I can't wait for this to come out on DVD - I'm like Beth, I forgot I was watching an animated film for most of the time. Is it my favourite Pixar film? I'm not sure - that's why I'm waiting to see it again on DVD!
