Visually, it was no Incredibles, but storywise it was brilliant because the story didn't need dialogue to get the message across. Additionally, it didn't follow any traditional storylines, which I thought was fresh as hell.
I might be able to relate a little more because I know all the pop culture (the spork, Betamax...freakin' Hello Dolly) references in the movie.
Thats all fine and well but when it all boils down my daughters and others in her age range are the target audience that asks for movie related toys, books, backpacks, DVDs, spinoffs etc that propel the movie into the classic range. This movie lacked a hit with it's intended audience.
Yeah I caught the references as well and they were well placed but it means nothing if you don't first entertain your target market.
