	Saw it last night. Wow! What a change of pace for Pixar. The opening 15 minutes are so bitter sweet. YOu have to see it in 3D. It's all about the depth of field and not about the screen popping gags. Absolute Smashing! See it! 10 our of 10. -----signature----- "Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi"...Jango Fett " Take off Hoser!" ... Bob & Doug McKenzie

	We saw it on the regular screen today and it was still stunning. Yes, the opening was bittersweet but it set up the story beautifully. LOTS of heart! Pixar has not let us down!

	Up was awesome! I totally see what you meant Lou, Pixar is not afraid to get into difficult dramatic territory to build it's story and character development. Up is on of Pixar's best! Oh and there is an AWESOME nod to a legendary fighter squadron that we all know and love, HELL YEAH! Pixar rules! Oh and the short is awesome too! -----signature----- Rogue Leader of The New Republic Starfighter Command Rogue Squadron General Ming S. Pan The impossible is what we do best...

	It was a good movie, but Ellie looked too much like Mrs Incredible, that's my only grievance, really good movie.

	I saw it the other day and liked it a lot. Like other stuff they've made, creativity stands out compared to a lot of other current movies. Liked the characters, and very colorful. Excellent!

	I'm surprised no one started a thread earlier so we could see this as a group? Oh well, maybe for Transformers then. -----signature----- In Loving Memory of Chanel Cheri Vanecek (Feb. 7, 1980 - Oct. 25, 2003) http://www.sffanforce.com/members/chanel/Chanelmemorialbadge.jpg In Loving Memory of Rene Mijares Tolosa (Feb. 16, 1941 - Mar. 3, 2009)

	Sorry Matty, we went to see it cos someone brought it up in idle conversation and we were meeting up that night anyway. So we went without alerting the rest of the SFFF think tank. We went to Tanforan for it and heads up, that they'll charge a $3 surcharge for the 3D-ness. =P -----signature----- Rogue Leader of The New Republic Starfighter Command Rogue Squadron General Ming S.

	I finally got to see this last night, and I must say I really liked it. The voice talents and animation were great, but I really liked the quieter moments with no dialogue, but just music and expressions. I'm now going to start calling my 5 year-old nephew "Russell", based on his resemblance to the character. I liked the nice "Star Wars" nod at the end too. When I go to CV, I'll start counting red and blue lightsabers. When we were at Star Wars Weekends, we saw lots of squirrels around the various parks, and couldn't help pointing them out - Doug style. Now I feel like going to Fenton's for some ice cream. -----signature----- In Loving Memory of Chanel Cheri Vanecek (Feb. 7, 1980 - Oct. 25, 2003) http://www.sffanforce.com/members/chanel/Chanelmemorialbadge.jpg In Loving Memory of Rene Mijares Tolosa (Feb. 16, 1941 - Mar. 3, 2009)

Did you also like the nod to Red Squadron? hehehe... -----signature----- Rogue Leader of The New Republic Starfighter Command Rogue Squadron General Ming S. Pan The impossible is what we do best...
