I saw this movie with my 5 year and it was incredibly long. I also thought I was going to keel over from the sensory overload. It was loud with lots of different plots going on. I left bug eyed.
I was at the media day last week. FUN!

This sound so totally cool! Thanks for the post, wish I were close enough to go see it!!
Wow, I always admire artist. I mean how do you start with a 45 foot tall ice cube and then just sculpt it into something amazing? It just has to be a God given talent. Thanks for sharing.
