    One of the best Disney films to come out of this century so far; my mom even used it in her job as a literature teacher, and her students had to analyze the themes of the film, character development, and other things you look for when analyzing literature.
    But the best part about it, just like the best part about any film, was the soundtrack.

    Michael Giacchino's score and the amazing musicians he had assembled for this movie are just some of many favorite things about it. (I also honestly think it helped me fall in love with jazz music!)

Did Buddy know that he is only alive due to Mr I jumping on him like that? I wonder if he would have done the same things if so...
