The animation is crisp and clean, with lots of tiny details that make it all the more wonderful. While many films over emphasize realism, this film deals in fun, imagination, and comedy. There are so many tiny details that every time I watch this, I notice a new sight gag, and it is great that a film can remain entertaining past the first viewing. While the animation is perfect, ...

The actors….voices
