A script that makes me wonder how high the writers were when they were thinking of this. The story’s built on non-sequiturs! But it’s a lot less about story and plot and more about relationships. The old man’s relationship with his wife, the kid, the kid’s relationship with the dog, etc. So there’s not a lot of action, but there’s a lot of shtick. And no real stakes, per se. Not my favorite of the Pixar movies, but still outstanding. Beautiful to behold and very sweet.
