The movie is really good. For those of us who have spent a lot of time around small airplanes the attention to detail was enjoyable. Some of the critics that are panning it probably just don't understand what they are missing.
Steve Jobs and John Lasseter were the money, leadership and a big part the creative force behind Pixar. Jobs actually made a lot more money from Pixar than Apple. When Pixar was acquired by Disney, Mr. Lasseter was asked to oversee (creative direct and manage) the whole animation enterprise. He still manages Pixar as well. This just happens to be a Disney animation effort, like Tangled was.
I have liked his work on the Disney side as well, if not better, than his work at Pixar. This will make tons of money in merchandising too.
