Happy landings, mate, and Happy Hallowe'en! :-) Hi Chris,

I quite agree – I think that a large part of the film’s charm lies in just how undumbed-down it feels, and I am really glad you enjoyed it too. Happy landings, mate, and Happy Hallowe’en! :-)

However, Pixar have achieved it effortlessly. It's great to see kids' movies that don't avoid tricky issues. I saw it on the plane over to Singapore on a tiny screen, and not in 3D, and it still packed a punch. I was laughing and crying all the way through.
