This is the best animated movie I’ve ever seen. The animation in Epic is what is really epic. Anime fans love anime because of the layered feel those movies have. They’re crafted with so much love and attention to detail that they forgive some plot imperfections just to appreciate the art.

Bernard is also very sensitive, likes cookies and wears a bathing suit. See, it’s very droll. Is a book better when it makes you laugh out loud or when you smile all the way through it? The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation is sparse on variety in artwork and dialogue. Because of that fact, some children won’t get it.

You can take that cat to dog training classes, feed them dog treats, but it will never happen. The same can be said for people who go to Fast & Furious 6 and expect to see something different, classier, more intelligent or less cheesy than its predecessors. Having said that, I liked Fast & Furious 6, I went in expecting action, a semi predictable plot and the car equivalent of The Expendables. And that is exactly what I got.

It’s not just me, the various kids we’ve had over at the house like the vehicle, but found putting Iron Man in and out of the vehicle too tedious. They loved the car and usually put animals or snacks in there instead.
