I would say it's heads and above Dory for Pixar, and won't make nearly as much. Which is a shame. It's beautiful, the music is great, the story is simple, but powerful. I saw the plot turns and side steps coming (outside a small one half way through). But everything was well orchestrated were once you really started to get the feeling things aren't what they seem, the story lets you know the truth.
The emotional beats, at least one had me in tears. The one in the end had me openly bawling, it was beautiful, and happened to hit the right emotional strings on my heart, about family and remembrance.
I'll just swing back to the look, the colors are brilliant, the look on those creatures (I can't remember what they're called) but it was fantastic. the fluorescence in those colors on those creatures where breath taking and created a real sense of not being "real".
A beautiful film, easy A.
