Definitely the best Pixar film and the second best animated film of all time imo (see my list for more details). Just irrepressibly lovely throughout and almost makes me want to try more french food, but not quite enough for me to actually do it.
Also, been lot of chat about long legs from the boys on here lately and the director of that should take notes on this film bc the villain here has the lankiest pins in the game 🦵

The scene where they test the bomb is phenomenal though, but pretty sure the bass at the light almost killed the old dear sitting in the row in front of me, bless her
