Twitter Capsule: Snappy, thoughtful, full of empathy, yet core feels schematic, even a bit cold. Literalizes some of Toy Story's lessons.

VOR: ④  Good to see Pixar going full-bore on an idea again, even if I have qualms about conception and execution. Flirts with the inventiveness of Japanese animation, but it's just a flirt.
