Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2013)

In this uplifting animated story you will go on adventure with Carl Fredrickson (Edward Asner-voice) and a young adventurous Russell (Jordan Nagai-voice)an 8 year old boy, who is on a mission to obtain his last badge for his "Helping the Elderly" in his Wilderness Explorer Troop. Little did Russell know the extent he would be going on to obtain his "Wilderness Explorer Badge ". In his ongoing persistence to help Carl, Russell travels to South America in a floating house, uplifted with balloons. Carl,is on his own mission that only he and Elie(Elie Doctor) knew, and Carl crossed his heart that they would complete their mission. Little did Carl know that Elie's adventure was fulfilled and now it was time to fulfill his.
This adventure begins when Carl was a young boy (Jeremy Leary), about the same age as Russell, Carl was a shy boy when he met Elie who will be a big influence in Carl's future. She was quite the opposite of Carl. She was loud, fun and eager to be an explorer and both Carl and Elie were true followers of Charles Muntz, (Chrisopher Plummer). The great explorer
In one of the first scenes you see Carl with his head gear and goggles,(just like Chales Muntz) Carl is in a cinema watching a film about the great explorer Charles Muntz. The lighting and coloring of this scene was almost as you were watching a real movie. The film that Carl was watching was in black and white and added some roughness to this film, other than that this was a very smooth cinematic scene.
The theme in this film is to be honest, sincere and adventurous. Carl had made a promise that he would help a little girl, Elie to be a true adventurer. Russell's goal was to obtain a Wilderness badge, his last one he needed to be a Wilderness Explorer.
This was a very good film to watch. The cinematic and coloring were unbelievable. The sound/audio were edited to a perfection. When the balloons burst through the roof of the house and it lifted from the ground the color was bright and surreal. As Carl was touching the ends of the balloons in the fireplace, the sound was the sound of someone tuning a musical instrument. The machinery tearing down the buildings around Carl's house, along with Carl using the megaphone were as though he was not an animation but a real person.
