I wasn't expecting another TOY STORY, naturally... nothing will likely compare to this movie for some time. However, the animation is definitely superior and the characters definitely fit the vocalizations... but I guess that's what three years of additional computer technology will buy you. I thought the concept was interesting and unique (despite the upcoming Pixar offering...), however, the plot and pacing of the movie seemed to be a bit slow at times... it "felt" longer to me than the actual running time.
