Good...but, Pixar, please keep the subliminal political agendas out!

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2009)

Unwanted Jewish-looking old man being pushed out of his home, unfairly deemed a 'menace to society,' to be put into a concen...I mean 'retirement home,' strives to realize the lifelong dream to relocate his home to the 'promised land,' carrying the memory of loved one who shared the dream but didn't make it, struggles to survive the ill-will of an obsessed Germanic-looking guy flying around in a Hindenburg-like airship, with a little Asian kid without a father tagging along. That about sums up the plot of 'Up.' Can we be any more obvious? The subliminal ethno-political allegorical symbolism was rampant in this movie, and it seems to be creeping more and more into Pixar movies. Pixar, please keep the politica agenda out and leave our children to their innocence! Other than that it was a cute movie with some chuckles. My niece seemed to like it. The sentimentality was strategically interwoven to tug on the little heart-strings of those who might not be emotionally mature, geopolitically aware, or not actively studying this curious phenomenon. I'm really going to have to start documenting my findings and write a book.
