Don't worry about the family that doesn't get all the tie-in's; Pixar's genius is in making movies that can satisfy on a whole variety of levels. They still enjoyed it, right?
I haven't been able to see the movie yet but I am thrilled it has gotten such great reviews, and that people like it. I know the director's family (him, too, but the wife better) and I was so nervous for them when I found out he had this high profile - and high risk, really, from an expectation perspective - project. Pixar is a company of really great people - they stay so grounded, and so funny.
