Unlike many contemporary animation films, this movie breaks the template in important ways; for instance, there’s a decided lack of ginned up, vaguely false sentiment here. Where the emotional beats come, they are well earned. Also, the film’s intelligence really shines through in the execution; the filmmakers create a world with its own rules, and they adhere to those rules all the way through. It’s just a very smart film. And, to top it off, watching this flick is an extra hoot for anyone old enough to remember the originals of many of these games. Strong stuff indeed. Drop your coins in the slot and play this one all you like.
