To sum-up: Waking Life is a breakthrough film as far as it's look and overall format but is at the same time quite disturbing in many ways.
Many characters are shown in order to voice their various opinion's over random subject matter in a sort of roundabout way, sharing everything from friendly conversation to revolutionary theories. It's animated layering is a very appealing structure and was a real treat to the eyes.
Pro's & con's:
+ The cartoon stylings are amazing and seeing them morph from scene to scene is very enjoyable.
- I really would've enjoyed this movie a lot more if it completely focused on Wiley Wiggins' character (this movie is practically Linklater's previous film "Slacker" except ten times better.)
+ The script is incredibly intelligent.
- There are certain sections of the movie that are just downright unnecessary.
