User Reviews

In one phrase....this is the most disturbing Pixar, or quite possibly any animated movie that I have seen till date. This movie glorifies death and killing in a way no movie has as yet done.

Had the movie not been so colorful, I doubt it would have made a PG rating. Either that, or the censor board is starting to forget that animated movies are watched by 2-4 year olds ALSO!!

Kids in the theatre were crying, my three year old kept asking questions that I had no answer to since I have never exposed my kids to such stuff. My only advice to parents - please see the Parental Advisory on IMDb before watching this movie.

Lastly, I'm all for celebrating diversity and other religions, but never expected Pixar to start preaching hinduism as part of its opening short. Sorry - but thats a big fail in my book.
