Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things.
...
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one."

And while the T-I-double-G-R is still the only one of his kind, thanks to "Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse," we learn that if there's one constant amongst parallel dimensions, it's that there's somebody out there who got bitten by a radioactive spider.

The story follows young Miles Morales as he learns and grows how to be the next Spider dude after the previous one (blonde, blue-eyed, and played by Chris Pine)  is no longer able to "do whatever a spider can." Along the way, the Marvel multiverse is split open and several heroes with the Spider adjective preceding their names pops up on his plane of existence. Together, they try to foil an evil plot, racing a clock for destruction of themselves & the city, and Miles learns how to be the Ultimate Spidey from each of these do-gooders.

A visual treat and an amazing exercise in blending differing animation styles.  A lot of people mock when comic visuals make their way into a moving medium like movies or TV, but this film does it very well.  Not to mention that the geniuses behind the "LEGO Movie" produced this film so the comedy and characters are top notch.  So in the same way that the Easter eggs flowed like water in the "LEGO Batman Movie," there's something in almost every frame for the ardent Spider-man fan. Aside from that, the story is still very focused on the main character of Mile Morales and how he is not just the new spidey kid on the block, but how he has to live up to his potential and the expectations set by his parents, his uncle, his heroic peers, and eventually himself.  The music manages to also elevate the movie, with such jams that encompass the mood of the characters and even some joke tracks that will put a laugh on your lips.

Overall, an amazing, spectacular, fantastic film for the Spider-man fan of all ages. Don't forget to stay to the mid-credits to see the tribute to both creators of the character and stay til after the scrolling credits for an acknowledgement of a popular meme from the Internet.

By far one of my favorite shout-outs in the Spiderverse comic...hopefully we have more like this in the sequel.
