I went to see this film with my daughter and I was almost thrown out of the Cinema I laughed so loud at the hidden pessimistic jokes. There is a lot of Wes Andersons humour and cast from The Life Aquatic in this film.
The animation is on par and ahead of that used in the Wallace & Gromit films. You can watch and enjoy this film as an adult or a child, but I suspect the adults will get more out of it. Go and see it, it’s absolutely brilliant.
