I did not have high expectations for this movie, maybe that's the reason, but wow...
Watched the 1st movie when it was released, thought not too much about it, just that it was quite nice. Now, now.. the 2nd is out, watched it.
How is my question. How can these little doodles on the screen hold so much more personalities than most live action films these days? Sure, some may find the "fart jokes" inappropriate, or even so disgusting they want to puke? Well, I don't know where you came from, with all your "I never farted or went to the bathroom in my life!" But was that the main point of this movie? No. This film got me tearing up in one scene, then laughing my hearts out in the one right after.
I have watched many movies, plenty with better effects and story plots. But this? The pureness, the raw emotions on these fictional characters are truly remarkable. I would rate it 10 stars if I could, and don't think I'll ever be able to see a better movie, so that's the only downside.
All in all, the 3rd better come out soon, and mark my words, this time, the standards will be MUCH higher!
