Reviews Featuring Andrew Stanton

A Bug's Life
Plenty of insect-sized fun to be had for all the family.

Finding Nemo
A fun family film which shows that even a nobody can become a somebody - but with a story that is all too familiar from other Pixar ventures.

WALL-E
Once again, Pixar has crafted an Oscar-worthy film in a genre a lot of people dismiss as kid's stuff. No mere cartoon, WALL-E delivers on all levels AND packs in some pretty relevant statements on the state of the world to boot. Plus, it's quite possibly the best love story of the year.
