I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

There have been many animated Disney movies that have come and gone, and most of them had cutesy characters and memorable songs. Not here though. But that makes this a black sheep among the Disney lineup. Don't get me wrong; I did enjoy this movie and it took me a while to see it. But it turned out to be entertaining. Steampunk and action, as well as a plot that looked like it came out of Jules Verne or Indiana Jones. If you want a different kind of animated movie, great. If you still enjoyed those musicals with cutesy characters, no deal. But that depends on what you like. So try to go in with an open mind and you'll enjoy it.

Throughout my life, I grew up watching a ton of Disney films both live action and animated and this film was to me awesome since I enjoy adventure films and I also enjoy the fact that Michael J. Fox is in this film. I know not a lot of people talk about it now a days, but I still think about it even though it's been nearly 16 years since this was released in theaters. The thing that really made me fascinated about it was seeing the trailer as a kid back in the early 2000s and the premise itself looked interesting. When I finally saw it in the theater at age 10 in 2001, I had a blast seeing it with my father, nanny (I think she went as well, but I don't recall), and my two sisters.

Like so many, I listened to the critics and gave this film a miss. Yesterday, after seeing some clips from it, I streamed it. It has a plot, it has well written, strong, well defined characters. It's not only good, it's fantastic! I couldn't believe how good it was. I kept thinking, "This can't be Disney, it's far too good." (And that era of Disney was a bit weak). I started looking at our crew, Milo, a lanky, tousle-haired, braces wearing leader, who isn't a leader, but, is. We have a tough guy mercenary with a questionable moral compass, there's a young female mechanic, who knows more about engines than other people have forgotten. We have a kindly, super intelligent doctor (who is black). We have a female warrior type who brooks no nonsense and could easily (and happily) tie you in knots. They have a nicely steam-punk looking transport. And it is just....amazing. Then, as the closing credits started to run, I saw the name of one of the writers. Joss Whedon. Well. That explains a lot. It's basically "Firefly", underwater...slightly for children. Brilliant. Well worth a watch, I watched two minutes and ordered a copy.
