(There is a slight spoiler ahead, so don't read if you don't want to know):
Like past Pixar movies, this has the funny parts, this has awesome animation, and this has great characters. One thing this movie has that past Pixar movies don't, is the fact that it shows a person dealing with one of the strongest emotions possible: the death of a loved one. I think it's incredible when a cartoon movie goes there. It's fairly easy to get laughs at talking dogs and other cartoon characters, but to make an audience feel sad with the death of a human character; that is an incredibly brave move by Pixar. I've seen other kid movies where an animal character is confronted with death (Bambi), but I'm hard-pressed to think of a cartoon that deals with the death of a human (at least that isn't a bad person).
Anyway, that is only part of this movie. The ending is pretty action-packed and the movie as a whole is a very creative adventure. It's a really original storyline and was done very well.

A good horror movie with an old school feel. It reminded me a lot of the Creepshow movies and Tales From The Crypt show. It's got a great mix of scary and funny that it's fun to watch. I love the way the stories tie together.
