Yes. I saw this in the first place because it was 12am and the person I live with had just gone to bed after another screaming, swearing, door-slamming tirade, and I had to get out of the house and do *something* remotely positive. I wasn't expecting anything beyond cute video-game references.

And I ended up at a movie whose message was 'Eventually you're going to find a place in life where you're accepted and valued, but you might have to break out of your comfort zone to do it'.

I'm always going to have a soft spot for WIR, if only for that.

I'm sorry about your housemate, Anon. *offers hugs if wanted.*

WIR was a big surprise for me too, I wasn't expecting anything about it either, and by the end I was legit crying. Good movie, good characters, good message. TBH, I don't think kids will get half the references, or the message of the movie. I feel like the last 3D movies by Disney/Pixar are deep down meant for our generation. WIR, Toy Story 3, Monsters Uni...

But I disgress. I'm glad the movie ended up as something valuable for you, and I hope things get better for you soon. (Even if you have to break out of your comfort zone to reach that place. It'll be worth it, I promise.)

Thanks for the kind thoughts; I'm working on it.

I'm hopeful that WIR will be one of the movies for this generation's kids that they can enjoy on one level now, then come back to in later years with new eyes. I know there are a few like that from my childhood.

OH! Absolutely! I'm sorry if it seemed like I wrote it in an elitist way, that was not my intention at all! Though I do reckon a lot of the videogame references are kinda dated for most children to get it, and I'm not sure if they'll have enough cultural relevance to be noticeable when those same children grow up and watch the movie again. I was born in 1988 and a lot of the references, I got them because I had the MAME32 emulator, not because I actually got to play the games at an arcade. The message, though, is universal :3

No offense was taken; I really do see that layered appeal as a plus of the movie. As for the video game references, I doubt I caught all of them myself, but that's another thing that encourages repeated watchings.
