My favorite animated film of the year!
Upon first seeing the trailer for this movie, I just didn't care. It looked lacking to me in animation, and I just assumed the story would be forgettable. I have to admit, I thought "This isn't Pixar, so it won't be good." Thankfully, I WAS WRONG!
I watched this movie in IMAX 3D, and I loved every minute of it. The animation is actually VERY good...cute character designs, nice expression, perfectly quirky when needed, and just beautiful. (This coming from somewhat of a self-proclaimed animation snob.) The movie is funny, and actually stays this way throughout. It's witty, but doesn't seem like it's trying too hard to get a laugh. The comedy works for all ages, and is there are no inappropriate moments for the kids.
All in all, Cloudy' provided my wife and I with the most fun we've had at the movies this year. I highly recommend it for anyone!
