Wow. It starts out unextraordinarily, a Great Escape adventure populated by Pixar’s great familiar heroes. Fun and funny, but nothing Earth-shattering. But in the second half it gets heavy. It becomes about legacy, family, and death. And just when you’re through another impossibly dramatic plot revelation, filmmakers blindside you with another one, more complex, more surprising, and more emotional. Heart strings are not being tugged, they’re being yanked and woven and dyed and dirtied and dry-cleaned. It’s devastating, but beautifully made, and a must-see in 3-D.
Also, the short beforehand, Day and Night was amazing. One of their best. Volumes could be written about how good it is, too.
