Another example of how the studio excels, pushes the envelope, and break expectations-if never (really) hearts. If they're going out, they will give each other their last measure of comfort, and the last shot here is a collection of tableaux that reminds one of the clustered gatherings in a Renaissance painting-a Pixar version of Brueghel. *Īnd the only solution-the ONLY solution-is to face it together.
