I could write a long review about all the things I find brilliant about that movie. But I'm sure there are already hundreds of good reviews doing that. So I'll just say: if you like computer-animated comedies, you'll love this. Get it. (If you can display 3D, even better, movies like this are made for it.)
One of the telling aspects of a great animated film is the LIGHT. Click on this, and enjoy that wonderful light. |
By the way, I think they make a little mistake by featuring basically only the Minions on covers and such. I feared that the other characters, for example the girls, would take a secondary place to them. Fortunately this is not true, it has a full character gallery, all used well.
One of the best new characters is Lucy Wilde, agent of the Anti-Villain League. This adorable redhead is a mess of delightful contradictions: She is bubbly, inventive, tough and super-resourceful, a bit bashful, clumsy, slightly sadistic and yet loving, and a martial-arts master.
These movies aren't going to age well. Although I'm not a big Disney fan, many decades later their animated movies from the forties still look good. These won't, due to improvements in technology. Compare the original Toy Story to now. Imagine how it will look in fifty years.
