I watched both this & Cars in the same day. This is miles better with no competition at all. It might look more cartoony and animated than Cars but it's hand drawn innocent appearance has much more appeal than Cars' over drawn, over polished and frankly over thought illustration methods. This film uses a new technique which has only been used in The Polar Express, which is known as performance capture. This is an improvement on motion capture and I expect it to be used far more in the future.
This is a tale about the scary house that everyone has in their neighbourhood. Everyone has a house that they thought things about when they were kids, so this film will appeal to adults, kids and big kids all alike. I'm not going to reveal too many details of the plot but the lead boy DJ reminded me of Hogarth from The Iron Giant (they look so much alike). His friend Chowder looks excellent and is well played and their girl sidekick whose name escapes me is also very well played.
Watch this film to enjoy the visuals, enjoy the amazing acting and a very good original story which is well thought out and is almost a perfect length (I would have liked maybe another 30 minutes or so). Watch and enjoy, I did.
