I remember seeing this initially in theatres and really loving the set-up - the fake documentary and newsreel stuff was really great. They set up the world spectacularly. And Ephraim got a kick out of all the physical stuff. I think it's a film he'll continue to revisit and appreciate in new ways as it goes along.
It's always surprised me that they haven't followed up with a sequel, but I assume it's because Brad Bird hasn't made it his focus in any way and should he ever get the right idea he'll be on it right away. But for now we've got this gem to re-watch.
I'll say this - if no other reason - become a parent so you have an excuse to revisit some awesome "kids" movies :)
