It was perhaps a tad too whimsical, but it was very well-made, funny in parts and i'll admit i was stubbornly holding back tears at times. Good little movie. I found the 3D effects pretty underwhelming though. Same with Avatar. I've seen way better 3D decades ago, where stuff looks like it literally comes out of the screen and you can virtually touch it. Don't know if they're half-assing it or watering it down now, but for the most part it's barely noticeable. With todays technology shouldn't it be better than ever? Because they are also making it for non 3d audiences because the kind of 3d in movie theaters isn't capable in TV's right now unlike the old red blue 3d. Also because its just stupid to have people pointing and throwing things at the TV for the cheap thrill. Honestly looking back at it Pixar evolved from making good comp animated movies to making great movies period. Toy Story was very good. Toy Story 2 was ok (watched both recently in theaters... that's two movies where 3d wasn't needed) didn't think Monster's Inc and Bugs life was great. Finding Nemo was too young for me. Right around the Incredibles they hit it with humor and story telling. Besides Cars. And after that was just home run after home run.

I cried buckets at this movie. From the opening to the scrapbook to "I hid under your house because I love you.", I was an emotional wreck.
If this movie isn't nominated for Best Picture and win Best Animated Picture, my faith in humanity dies a bit. It is, like other have said, the best movie of 2009, bar none.
