We just saw this "kid's flick." The theater was filled with youngsters. They sat still for a rather long film with a very adult message about environment, corporate greed, triumph of love even among machines, and ultimate redemption when people (in the form of the captain of the star ship) wrest control from the "big machine" and return people to the earth and life. The humans are completely mesmerized by constant amusement and have lost the will to even make basic human contact.
Heavy duty message movie packaged flawlessly as animation. Go and see it now.
It seems to be highly controversial! Disney making that type of movie while being bad stewards of the environment themselves, or some such...
ReplyDeleteWe saw a preview of it last night when we went to see "Mamma Mia!" here in Sweden, and I'd actually like to see it.
Yes, it is probably true that Disney is NOT one of the "good guys" but somehow the film brings a serious message of a possible outcome of ignoring the perilous situation the human race finds itself in. Find a way to see it without paying the admission!
