Watched this weekend with my daughter.  She was delighted, as every 
other kid in the room.  Me too! :)  First time I saw an anaglyph movie 
and it's nothing short of breathtaking!  Besides, there's just enough of 
lovely Shrek-like humor.  The 50's B-movies nod was wonderful.  Oh, 
there's also some story there, passable but enough for the entertainment 
purpose...

I realize now Dreamworks is a modern day Warner Cartoon Studios, relying 
on frantic, fast-paced zany visual humor mixing various pop culture 
references by the tons/frame with just a hint of background story just 
like in the Looney Tunes spirit, while Pixar goes the old Disney way of 
good story-first, action/humor second.

Stephen Colbert as the President of USA should be hilarious enough 
(although I watched a dubbed version with my daughter).  His meeting 
with the alien robot is worth of the whole ticket entry.

Last but not least, it's an incredible visual feast, not only the 
anaglyph:  rendering is The Incredibles on crack.
