Up - Bekenova Zhanel

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
While searching a film in order to watch with my family together on friday night, I discovered an animation well-know as "Up".
As a big fan of "Finding Nemo", I considered/believed that Pixar could never give me a feeling of satisfaction.
I was wrong.
At the centre of "Up" is Carl Fredricksen,
a grouchy widower and retired balloon salesman in late middle age. He, after the death of his lovely wife, Ellie, finds himself alone in a world where he is disregarded by people around him and in risk of being sent to a retirement home.
For the purpose of not losing the house he spent his whole life in, he decides to go on one last adventure to complete a lifelong dream he shared with Ellie of traveling to Paradise Falls in South America. So he hooks his house up to thousands of balloons and sets off into the unknown, but all doesn't go as planned when he accidentally picks up a stowaway - a young Boy Scout named Russell, who affects on Carl's life positively.
Up is funny, heartfelt, and never less than entertaining.
There is plenty to like about this movie - from its gorgeous look to a surprisingly touching story.
Even the first 10 minutes are some of the best, and most emotional, sequences of any film in recent memory, but are just the beginning of a movie that manages to interject some laugh-out-loud funny moments with a rather tender back story that tugs at the heart strings.
