It didn’t seem to have the edge that the earlier pixar movies did, but that may be because I’ve become used to Pixar delivering such impressive movies.

Both myself and the kids laughed quite a lot, although not always at the same spots, there weren’t as many adult “in jokes” as there have been in past pixar movies, but certainly enough to be enjoyable as an adult, and the kids walked out with a smile on their faces.

My son said afterwards that it seemed quite short, even though it was 111 minutes long, so I guess he was drawn in by the story.

The plot has not particular surprises, but is good simple fun, although it wasn’t tough to guess what was coming next.

The french accents weren’t all particularly realistic, but the graphics were up to Pixar’s usual excellent standard.

Having said it’s not as good as the Early Pixar movies, it’s certainly not put me off going to watch them…

oh, and Peter O’toole is excellent as the aging food critic.
