Some may say that Pixar's sixth feature film is for kids. In truth, it's the best James Bond movie in decades — so what if it didn't actually have 007 in it? A villain plotting world domination from his volcanic island lair? Check. A hero whose romantic entanglements complicate his quest to defeat said villain? Done. Flying, running, jumping, exploding, throwing, shooting, icing, stretching, invisibling...If that ain't an action movie, then what is?

BRAD BIRD: ''The best action heroes are more often than not the ones who show a little fear. He's not gonna die, but it's gonna hurt.''
