I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Erik, your observation about the different points of focus on the rat's face is precisely what makes this movie groundbreaking compared to others I've seen. Even on a person the animators have taken care to show depth. So if a character's hand is a little bit behind their face, there is a difference in focus there. 268750@desicritics.org Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:31:23 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/08/02/000210.php#comment-268732 Though I watched a pirated version ( yeah, camera print) I was impressed by the movie's storyline. Nice review Aspi 268732@desicritics.org Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:04:56 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/08/02/000210.php#comment-268169 You have a good point about the realistic backdrops in the film. I noticed that too, how they blurred out the backgrounds to be more realistic. For some reason, my favorite visuals were that of the rat noses - they looked so real as if you could touch them, and they too would get blurred out if the "camera" was focused on the rat's faces, for instance. 268169@desicritics.org Thu, 2 Aug 2007 02:01:25 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/08/02/000210.php#comment-268166 Great movie, extraordinary visual effects (with a lot of detail, too) and an intriguing and fun story. Definitely one of the best movies of the year, though that's no surprise since it's Pixar (even though Cars sucked). 268166@desicritics.org Thu, 2 Aug 2007 02:00:11 EDT
