Reactions from the web

4-5 yrs of production and wish it also be shown in theaters..

@GoingNomads 741

This movie deserved to be shown in theatres. The double standards by Disney towards Pixar movies is absolutely despicable. Show original Pixar movies in theatres, not just Toy Story or other franchise sequels. Give this movie a theatre release like it deserves.

@Zenigotcha 582

What I like about this movie is that it’s basically what it’s like to grow up, and I think that it’s a funny movie because we can somehow relate to it, because when we get older we start to like new things and including the way we act
