I enjoyed this movie at the time and have long thought of it, accurately or not, as "the one Pixar movie I like."  But watching the first quarter-hour today, it seemed kind of bleak and I kept wishing I was watching Flushed Away instead.  Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava co-directed, and co-wrote with a bunch of people.

Deliberately unfocused, although I did like the extended cover version of "One Is the Loneliest Number."  Paul Thomas Anderson wrote and directed.
