I saw this movie a few weeks ago at a Drive-In theater and I absolutly loved it. I don't know if I liked it better than Nemo or not. Probably just as much. It is such a cute movie and I recommend it to anybody... Has anyone else see it?

Just got back from seeing it today, thought it was fantastic too. Full of little head nods and in jokes that poke fun at some of the fundamentals of super hero stories. The voice cast were uniformly excellent.
One thing I noticed was how different this film is from Pixar's usual kind of efforts. On the whole I kinda thought this film was more of an attempt a full fledged drama, sidelining some of the comedy aspects in favour of some nice characterisation and development. Not to say that this film didn't have humour or action ('cause both came in spades ^^), but it was refreshingly different.
Any other thoughts?

Excellent animated feature, to the point that it had that ability to make you forget that you were watching an animation. As Lioncourt mentioned, it seemed to have a very different aura about it then more of Pixar's other works...and I personally liked it more because of that. It had this unique ability to blend outlandish super hero/villain characters and action with very down to Earth and 'human' themes. A prime example would be when the family is having dinner together, and the Mom is having trouble containing the kids, and the father seems dissinterested. You *know* that reacurring theme, you can feel the frusteration of the family like it was a normal everyday family, but the way it's presented with superhuman qualities makes it fresh, and funny!
I'd deffinetly give this movie a 2nd run, and even a 3rd.

I agree with Lucien....that's one of the things I loved about this movie--they were a real human family, distinct, yet still an "Everyfamily"
The only think I didn't like about the movie was that it was too long...and it just got slow in some parts.

Lucien, you're monologueing.
I didn't find it too long at all. I thought the pace was just right >)...Nemo was just cute, but I liked this better.
My show had the trailer for Cars. That seems so incredibly cute too.

Talking about WEIRD, that animated short before the movie was definitely weird--wonderful cute, funny and clever, but still, weird.

I just saw it today, and came out with expectations fulfilled! Pixar just keep outdoing themselves in terms of originality, imagination and animation. In a couple of parts I was simply stunned by how it looked, and found myself chuckling at the over-the-top yet utterly convincing action sequences =D
All the actors did extremely well of course, and combined with the skills of the animators, just led to such a great presentation. I loved the humour like at the very start with the 'old days' interviews, as they can only really be pulled off with the right improvisation behind it... "I just cleaned up this mess, can we keep it clean for-- for 10 Minutes!?"
Really fantastic; if you haven't gathered from everyone else here yet, it's highly recommended. You should be watching it right now!

Well, the movie FINALLY made it to hong Kong, and I loved it! Half family sitcom, half action hero movie, this is one of the greatest movies of the year! Pixar has so far never let me down!
