Disney-PIXAR has absolutely outdone themselves with this movie! The dogs "talking" collars are beyond funny and show these writers are total "dog-people"! The beginning is sad - made me cry - but the storyline is tremendously creative and engaging and flat out fun! This is the best Disney-PIXAR movie ever and makes a great family gift! Tremendously well done!
