Tonight my parents watched the Abigator while Jess and I went to see the Incredibles. This movie wowed me on technical levels, but left me wanting in the humor department. As always Pixar does a top notch job of making computer rendered ‘cartoons’ the absolute best available (Shrek 2 has absolutely nothing on this). I honestly couldn’t tell you what the movie was about in some senses. I kept staring at the images and being Mr. Geek rather than slowly but surely taking in the story. There were some really cool parts of the movie that were funny, but I don’t remember the hysterical laughter of Aladdin (which was the funniest kids movie of all time in my opinion.. but I awate Sponge Bob’s movie). There weren’t touching moments like in Nemo, either.

Overall this was a darker movie, but without the comedic line-up that some of the pixar movies have had, I didn’t expect it to be so. Since Pixar is obviously branching into a new direction I am impressed and look forward to future movies, and hope to have this one in our ‘fold’ once the DVD is released.

Go see it, it’s worth $20.00 or less dollars for two people 🙂
