I’ve now seen this film three times, and am increasingly astonished by its beauty & emotional force.
I’m on board with this review line-by-line.
An excerpt that captures it for me:
“Winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure is a tidy 90-minute distillation of all the signature touches that came before it.”
I was totally transported back 20 years when I saw this. Remarkable stuff…
Such an important topic. As an avid fan of the medium, I’m always thrilled to hear voices speaking about it redemptively. I love the Centre for Public Christianity, and I love film, so this was a solid gold find.
Enjoy.

Also, as a super-terrific bonus, he’s made a fascinating documentary called Purple State of Mind
It is with profound sadness that I post what may indeed be the final episode of the best show on television.
I offer my own humble petition that this great work may not go unrecognized by the tv gods and find its rightful place somewhere on my dial for years to come.
I have written letters to the fickle tv gods, I now offer this as proof positive that this show must not go away forever.
It would be shameful…
The tv gods are no gods at all!
Lord, raise up a generation committed to serving you in this medium.
From the Centre for Public Christianity
I recently saw this film with a group of my students and friends.
I saw it after ranting against Dan Brown’s “creative” retelling of history (justified), and dismissing the film as a waste of time (not justified).
I agree with literally every line of Greg Clarke’s review here from the Centre for Public Christianity, who says EXACTLY what I was thinking on my way out of the theater and in the days that followed (albeit with an Australian accent).
Already generating Oscar buzz, this offers further proof that Pixar’s making some of the best films anywhere.
The fact that I can take my 6 year-old daughter?
Bonus!
I wholeheartedly agree with their top two choices, and Iron Man.
As the father of two small children, I cannot speak intelligently about the rest.
What say you to their list?
Have you seen any of the others?
I believe a trip to the IMAX is in order?
