I don't feel the commitment needed to dissect this film so precisely. I liked the look of it. I liked the early scenes. I didn't need the message or the love story at all. I don't care what it was derivative of or where the sounds came from. I didn't think it was spectacular, nor did I think it was horrible. Meh. I'm just glad I didn't have to sit through something totally moronic like Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
And personally, I don't think Pixar has ever topped Toy Story with the exception of Monsters, Inc.
