Sadly I missed this film in theaters. I didn't think my 4 year old son would sit though the movie, despite the fact that Pixar never disappoints. Plus I am a sucker for the whole 3D thing, and these CGI animated features usually look amazing.
Needless to say, one of the main reasons I decided to purchase a blu-ray player a month ago was to see this movie in excellent quality in my home.
I sat down the night it came out with the entire family, including my son. We loved it. The 4 year old watched the entire thing and really enjoyed it. I have loved everything Pixar has done and after they made a really great movie about a rat that can cook, I decided I would never ever doubt Pixar's storytelling power again.
Visually the blu-ray is amazing, the sound is excellent. But of course what really shines is the touching story of an old man that was never able to re-visit the vacation spot that he and his wife have always wanted to visit. Pixar has an amazing ability to make mature stories that adults can enjoy and relate to, but tell them in such a way that kids enjoy them as well.
On the surface a "kids" movie that centers on a senior citizen is not a kid's cup of tea so to speak. But the characters are so well developed, better than most live action movies by the way. If you missed this movie in the theater, I would add it to your collection immediately. It's my first Disney Blu-Ray and it was well worth it!
