Narrated by Charles Osgood of CBS Sunday Morning, and making superior use of the voice talents of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett, Seth Rogen, Will Arnett and others, the movie proves a funny, elevating ride that should beguile the young and keep their parents or grandparents enthralled too.

And yet this momentary captivity is liberating: while emotionally entangled, we achieve intellectual freedom by virtue of the poems. We continue on in our incomplete lives armed with the completing questions. Even at 85, Hartwig still discovers new mysteries...
...began experimenting with a very Chinese medium. And a very tricky one: gunpowder. He would sprinkle it on fibrous paper, then light it to create a "drawing" of burned residues. He moved on to produce outdoor "explosion events," using fireworks to create spectacles on the ground and in the sky that he related to Taoist ideas about destruction and transformation. By now, Cai (pronounced Sigh) is an old master of blast art. Which is funny, because at 50, he's a soft-spoken man with a modest manner. It's his art that makes noise...
