Heartwarming and Hilariious, One of Pixars Finest,

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2010)

Up is a fantastic movie with an extremely well developed storyline and a terrific voice cast that capture the emotions and personalities of these characters perfectly. It has a near perfect balance of drama and comedy, it had loads heartwarming and upsetting scenes that genuinely made me cry, but it also had plenty of very funny parts and hilarious characters that brought light to the film, such as Dug, and this movie brought me so much joy to watch, and I will certainly be seeing it again and again. My only problem with the movie, and it's a very small one, is that I didn't feel we got to see Ellie develop enough, I know exactly what they were doing with that montage and it was terrific, but I would like to have seen a bit more of her beforehand so that I would feel so much more sympathy once the montage came along, although seens revolving around her later on were the parts that real warmed my heart. Carl Fredicksen is easily one of Pixars best written characters ever, he has so much depth and he is very human, I felt so much sympathy for him and can relate to his struggles to not want to let go of the things that mean so much to him, it's quite hard to believe that this very real character is computer animated. Pixar hit it out of the park once again, it's funny, it's tearjerking and its a lot of fun, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good film for the entire family to enjoy, and to all moviegoers in general.
An elderly man who is being forced to a retirement home attaches all his balloons to his house and heads off on an adventure in dedication to his deceased wife, however, chaos ensues when a young boy scout accidentally joins him.
