Just saw it last night. It's real easy to see why it's doing so well. A lot of people have mentioned the gorgeous animation but I feel the story and themes should get equal credit. It felt like they didn't shy away from anything and were willing to tackle some dark topics and show some of the weight of them. Genuinely think this is a top 5 movie for me.

    Right up there with The Iron Giant, IMHO! And, that one has great sentimental value to me! 😁

    Iron Giant is one of those movies that I watch maybe once every ten years and every time I wonder why it isn't higher on my list. It's a great movie, well done, my kind of style and story. It really is a wonderful movie.
