Yes. It does. Well then, in any event, the story itself struck me as a simplistic predictable comic-book melodrama and, as far as CGI... It just looked like a multi-million-dollar video game to me. Another step forward for "realistic" (whatever that means) cartoons I guess but...a walk in the woods is a lot more amazing and visually spectacular to me than all this expensive artificiality. So there you have it. Sorry about that, friends. As far as I can see, it's just another big-corporation-mass-media product with a token politically-correct storyline.

Art, nice to see you here again. I agree with the real world being amazing. I still reminisce about the first walk in 2000 on the frozen waterfalls of Gošafoss in the northern part of Iceland and the fjords of eastern Iceland.
I just watched it again, and until I can see floating mountains in person, it's a nice fantasy to see on screen instead of in text in some sci-fi book.
