Recently caught my third viewing of Megamind...  (Hey, it's on HBO, okay?)  First time I saw it, thought it was "all right".  Second and third time?  I'm growing more and more in love with the film - it's quickly becoming a classic in my mind.  One of those films that just grows on you.  Well, on me anyway...

But as I watched it this last time, it occurred to me that while the writing was solid, the *vast* majority of what makes this film a gem (IMHO) is the actual animation.  The perfect facial expressions, the body language, the way it's visually set up.  Divorced from all that, the writing was cute, but not all that amazing (aside from a few stand-out lines).  

It's also dawning on me that this may be the nature of comedies in general.  That - more than other genres - comedy is more dependent on presentation in order to be great, vs. a feat of pure scriptwriting.

Was wondering what other people thought?

Cheers,
