It's everything you would have expected from Pixar: beautifully mounted and enchanting, with the usual crew of brilliantly rounded characters battling their way through an even darker narrative, but I quite often felt a sense of deju vu while watching it - like I'd been here before, give or take a few modifications in the narrative. But hey, when it's done with such flair I'm not really bothered, although I'm still not quite sure that this third installment was entirely necessary, particularly when it plays so closely to the original two flicks. Still though, another high quality spectacle from Pixar's enviable cannon of family movies.
