One of Pixar's best

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2009)

I'll start by saying that I'm an admirer of Ed Asner's body of work. So when I heard that his was the leading voice in UP, it was intriguing enough for me to go and see it.
As usual -Asner is impressive.
A funny movie from the Disney-Pixar gang, UP is about 78-year-old balloon salesman, who ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. An 8 year has stowed away with him.
Director Pete Docter, delivers big time, both with a marvelous adventure flick and with the comedy as well. Screenplay is by Docter and Bob Peterson. Story is by Docter, Thomas McCarthy and Bob Peterson
The rest of the voices are marvelous as well - Jordan Nagai, Christopher Plummer, John Ratzenberger, Bob Peterson, Delroy Lindo, Jerome Ranft, David Kaye, Elie Doctor, Jeremy Leary, Mickie McGowan, Danny Mann, Donald Fullilove, Jess Harnell, Josh Cooley and Docter.
Great animation by Pixar. They have one-Upped themselves.
