Beat Pixar and Ralph,
so didn't want to like it-
but have to confess:
clever, fresh, original-
animation feat!
It's visual innovation-

It looks but also sounds great-
A stellar soundtrack

Dynamic story,
quick action fight scenes with verve,
playful one-liners,…

The poor man never got his way.
Befriends single mother today,
helps Katie, Dylan, and…
