Excellent, as always.   I just said this about The Incredibles as well, but the animation is really sharp, so much so that I forgot a few times it was animation at all, and it’s …

Wow.   I still can’t figure out what to believe about Jesse, but no matter what you think happened, it’s really really good.   (The movie is good, not what happened; what happened is bad.) …
