No, I'm not talking about the quality of the animation or the effects. This movie is a huge fantasy that begins at the end of a life that just didn't turn out the way someone wanted it to. He wanted adventure, he got a home and a job. He wanted kids, and his wife couldn't have them. And now, just as he's crossed the line and it about to get hauled off to the rest home to run out the clock, the adventure begins! And, what adventure!
Without giving away the detail, I belive this picure will be an enduring classic right up there with Toy Story. I even like it better than the brilliant Wall-E, because it's more real. The envirnomental message resonates with some, but I think many more can relate to life just not working out the way it was planned, of hopes and dreams being crushed, at the looming end of everything. But still, adventure is out there!
And, actually getting to meet one's hero can turn out in a way you don't expect, and not necessarily good.
This is an animated movie with a mind and a soul, when so many seem to have neither. And dogs are always funny, right? Woof!
