I have a very big question ... If they used a gem and only brought back half down their father's body, why if they use another gem, the upper half of the body isn't appear for another whole day yet?
An amazing movie, and a masterclass in storytelling and existentialism without beating you over the head with it.

Very realistic and very sad. I don't think it ends as well as it could have. Everyone though should watch this. I really do love these sparkshorts.
Fun bit with Rex. I like Rex actually knowing about the history of real dinosaurs, and Forky’s obliviousness is a good comic mode. These already have something of a rhythm which becomes less novel as you go, but they’re short and sweet, so it still works.
Back to the pond for Pixar, where we find things largely unchanged from the end of 2003's Finding Nemo. As the continually-forgetful blue tang Dory has a sudden enduring flash of her childhood, a rush of unfamiliar recall, she gathers the clownfish for one more globe-spanning adventure.
The setup is a little soft, lingering too long in the shadow of the first film, but eventually we break free of that sentiment and forge a new (if similar) identity for the sequel. The closed-in landscape of an aquatic themed zoo/amusement park feels a bit claustrophobic at first glance, but as hijinx ensue and we learn more of Dory's early years, it all fleshes out nicely. No shortage of colorful new characters there, literally and figuratively, not the least of which is Ed O'Neill's escape artist "septipus" (having lost a tentacle in the touch tank), who treads dangerously close to becoming a deus ex machina with his versatility. O'Neill brings his usual disgruntled pessimism to the role, though, and some genuinely clever sight gags using the creature's natural assets go a long way to smoothing that over. He's overly convenient, but we're always glad to see him again.
Witty and fast-paced, with a good mix of gags for the adults and their kids, plus a potent dose of the studio's famed poignancy. I laughed, I misted up, but I never quite fooled myself into thinking it was superior to the first.
While the first film was never my favourite of the Pixar collection growing up, I do have fond memories of watching it countless times. Which is why I was apprehensive when Disney announced a sequel after all this time. However overall I was impressed with the film. It does that old tried and tested Pixar trick of making a film that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
Is this film as good as the first? No not by a long shot. Though that’s partly nostalgia. I do enjoy most of the new characters (excluding the echolocation dolphin), and the callbacks to previous side characters like Crush were a nice touch.
This is going to sound a pretty stupid statement to make a hour an animated kids film about talking fish, but my main problem was believe ability. Hear me out though. The fish never did anything too wild in the first film, mostly swimming around the ocean, or at most getting around in water bags and pipes. This time we have scenes involving Hank the octopus blazingly roaming around the marine park in a stoker stroller, just while the punters wander around seemingly oblivious, even after it strikes are random toddler. And then don’t even get me started on the final scene of them hijacking the truck and getting into a police chase.
Again I know that sounds a silly statement to make about a kids film with talking fish. So make of that what you will. But overall it’s a good film. If you enjoyed the first, then you will definitely also enjoy this.
So cute. Incredibly catchy too!
A warm, cozy fairy tale that feels more like a Disney production than the latest entry in Pixar's storybook. It's sweet, quirky and funny, but routinely falls back on familiar motifs and often seems criminally under-explored. Since the vast majority of the action takes place in and around a single locale, there's a claustrophobic quality in the air that never truly dissipates, robbing us of the grand scale that's been present in every one of the animation factory's preceding works.
It's no more than a straightforward telling of a reasonably interesting fable, with only a few short jolts of the unique character and timely laughs I've come to expect from the troupe. Of course, there's no arguing the fact that Pixar knows how to produce gorgeous scenery, and Brave is yet another leap forward in that regard; the surrounding landscapes are unanimously breathtaking, and Princess Merida's hair is constantly bouncy and lifelike, truly a character unto itself. It's an enjoyable fresh ride and a marked improvement over the lifeless Cars 2, but misses the depth and flair that made me fall so deeply in love with the studio's classics.
What I love about these short films from Pixar is how creative and extremely funny slap stick humor, and 'Presto' is nothing short as a brilliant short animated film - with a lot of effort and passion in to it.
I won't say anything else because I want you the viewer to check it out yourself without knowing nothing. Just go in blind just like I did.
Tables turn as a charming young girl bursts through her own closet door and sends shivers through the monsters on the other side. Everything about this is wonderful, from the essentially Pixar concept to the warm, sentimental relationships at its core. Even the animation has held up quite well, which isn't always the case with these early CG efforts: humans still look a bit wonky, but most of the cast seems drawn straight from the pages of a Caldecott winner and that kind of bright, absurd character works beautifully.
John Goodman and Billy Crystal carry most of the heavy-lifting as Mike and Sulley, blue collar creatures with an easy, free-flowing rapport, but three-year-old Mary Gibbs threatens to steal the scene every time she gets the chance with her adorable almost-words and penetrating good cheer.
Exceedingly well-balanced, with the kind of imagination that keeps mouths gaping and so much heart, even the boogeyman might have to fight back a tear or two. One of my favorites of the entire Pixar catalog, it swings hard and connects on every level. Sweet, sad, silly and stupendous, a timeless classic that I was glad to share with my kids.
Mostly a very fun movie to watch and the ABBA songs were very catchy of course. Don't watch it if you want a great plot because it's kinda over the top but a lot of fun.
