IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
Today's film was Pixar's
They had me at the titles when they played "Sunday Clothes" from Hello Dolly. Goosebumps.
Later we get "It Only Takes a Moment".
I love it when they recognize my cohort and do the old stuff.
Late in the film, near the end, he reboots to the Macintosh gong.
In between, there are so many references and cross references and jokes, it would many five viewings to get them all. Rich and generous.
The first fifteen minutes, which everyone raves about, are great but so is the rest of it. I don't get the focus on that part only. There is nothing I didn't like. I didn't even get that usual cartoon anxiety that I get when the shit happens and there seems to be know way out. We know that WALL-E will find a way. He is a spunky little guy.
I will give it a 5 out of a Netfilx5 and promise to play it again when I have my Pixar film fest sometime in the future.
