Up = maybe a little over inflated.

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2009)

Up in my opinion is probably the weakest film in the Pixar collection. There was never the "magic" moment for me which is always created in the other films. Don't get me wrong Up is a very enjoyable film but didn't quite push the right buttons.
The plot confuses me a lot as it starts off very sombre (i had a tear in my eye at one point) and then transforms into something mainly for the kids, so it doesn't blend the 2 together as we are used to. So the kids will hate the first half, and adults will find the second half maybe a little silly.
There are lots of funny jokes in here that serve both sets of viewers. And the voice acting is superb and spot on. You just got to love the Doberman ;)
The characters, animation and general design are all out of the top drawer as normal for Pixar but i made the mistake of seeing this in 3D.....if you are charged extra to see it in 3D don't! The movie has no scenes of "3Dness" of the likes found in Ice Age 3, and Aliens Vs Monsters to name a couple. Even Valentines day Masacre made a better use of 3D, and for me seemed to just be thrown in "cos 3D films are doing well this year".
Overall good film...........but.................even now i cant explain why it isn't as good as the others.
