For me, the first and third acts were best - I didn't care too much for the eeeevil child hero - the threat of Plummer's character killing them due to his insanity was just a bit loopy for me, but I appreciate the humor that the dogs brought. Basically, my least favorite parts were the "kiddiest" parts, but what should I expect from a kids movie?Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144458625742451371.post-35247512551759387402009-06-02T20:41:53.981-04:002009-06-02T20:41:53.981-04:00Excellent comments Nick, and I agree with most of ...Excellent comments Nick, and I agree with most of what you say.

Then you see Carl's passion and struggle to keep a promise to his dead wife while forming a bond with a boy, like the child he could never have (as shown through the montage). And the boy, too... needing a father as his own has all but Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
