A goofy, gag-a-second, very cartoony, animated comedy that is a ton of fun for, as they say, the young and the young at heart.

This is a sequel that pales in comparison to the original simply because we’ve already seen the original.

The eccentricity got boring after a while, which is a shame because the artwork is so inviting.

There can be an unreal beauty to stop-motion when done right. Writer/director Adam Elliot has definitely done it right.

While it certainly didn’t reignite my childhood passion for this property, it is a reasonably enjoyable watch.

The classic era of Pixar, where everything they made was gold, is probably gone for good. However, they still make solid entertainment.

It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

This is a clear attempt at a new franchise and is fun enough that it just might succeed.

It is certainly not a terrible experience. Still, it is hard to recommend it when Pixar has done so much better, so many times.
