    I will admit my personal bias might influence my review and rating of this film, but...this was a phenomenal adaptation of a Broadway musical, which itself was an adaptation of a novel, which was essentially an extremely impressive fan fiction of a series of children's books and said movie adaptation of them. For fans of the musical, it is very faithful, despite only covering act one. For fans of the novel, much like the musical before it, it took liberties…

    A surprisingly good sequel from Disney and Pixar. The realities of navigating puberty and new emotions was well done in this one. Perhaps it is because I suffer from clinical depression and anxiety, but Anxiety's depiction and the events of the film related to anxiety hit close to home and had me crying like the awkward teenager I was so long ago. Well done, Pixar.

    A truly iconic film. If you've never seen it before, you should watch it. Considering production began in 1991, this film has aged well in almost every way. Practical effects, animatronics, and early cgi work at it's finest. More films should return to the blend of classic techniques and cgi for fixing issues to make beautiful films that stand the test of time.

    This is legitimately the worst film I've ever seen. Save yourself from this horror and watch the original Nickelodeon animated series. The series is infinitely better.
