Why it’s a Friday Night Flick
Critics loved it (100%), audiences adore it (8.0/10), it made about 13 times its budget and people are still talking about it. Make plans for this one.
Our take: The first fully computer-animated feature, and still one of Pixar's best. Funny for kids, quietly moving for adults.
