Indian boy Sanjay is more interested in TV and his superhero shows than his father's need to pray to the gods. Sanjay accidentally extinguishes the religious incense. He enters the imaginary world where the dying smoke brings about a monster which is defeated by the awaken gods.
I like the concept. I like the characters. I like the personal story and family tradition. The only problem is the change in animation style. He's already in the imaginary world when the movie changes the style upon the gods being awaken. I prefer the first style which is sharper and could be great for action. The different style takes the story outside of reality and stripes the intensity out of the action. I get that it takes the action into a comic book style but I simply don't like the choice. Otherwise, this is a solid Pixar affair.
