The World According to Pixar

Now, I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove everything Pixar. I've watched Toy Story a bijillion times. And Nemo. And because of my nephew, I may see Cars 2 bijillion times before I die. The Incredibles. Monsters, Inc. A Bug's Life. All, genius. But thankfully there's room for others. And luckily, one of the others is Nick Park's Aardman Animations, the good folk who brought us Wallace & Gromit, Creature Comforts, Chicken Run. Last year's Flushed Away was outpaced by Cars, but it definitely deserves a viewing. Not just because its stars include Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Bill Nighy and Sir Ian McKellan, but any film that gives us this 4 seconds of dialogue between a giant albino rat and his Mob associate oughta be recognized:
"I have a gut feeling about this."
"No boss, that's just last night's curry. I feel the same way; in fact I have a bottom that looks like the Japanese flag."
