The plot is a little thin, and character development is virtually non-existant, but the computer graphics are very good. The idea, that of a human being (designated a "user") being trapped in a computer along with a series of programs, some of which he wrote, is an interesting one. Interesting also is the artists conception of some of our cherished concepts like bits, I/O control, control programs, and so on. There are a few stabs at programmers which raised some chuckles from the audience as well. I will be interested to see what Disney, and the others, do with the ideas being presented in the film.
