While the film has the usual Pixar intro. It doesn’t leave much connection to the main character. The animation and music score is an absolute joy to the senses. The lackluster story and plot falls behind.
To be frank, the story seemed a bit rushed especially by the third act. I had felt a minimal connection to the main characters. Joe was too one dimensional for my liking. I didn’t get enough time to care for him before his untimely demise.
Overall it’s a fun film to watch...once. I honestly wouldn’t rewatch this again.
