A masterful tale with meaning to boot!

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2010)

Up manages to bridge that gap between a simple story and a meaningful concept behind the veil of magical effects and imagery which (from the onset) captures your imagination and makes you believe this story all the more.
The presence of such perfected 'animated' cinematography (beautiful surroundings, landscapes etc.) brings to mind only one outstanding feature of this film.
The intelligence behind donating an entire scene which captures a lifetime of partnership without the use of a single word is pure genius. Not to mention excellently executed. This is what stood out most for me.
The tale of partnership, family difficulties, lifelong promises, hopes, dreams and what's most important to ones self is told in a way that makes you shed a tear in joy for the beauty that is this film.
This is a TRUE FAMILY MOVIE! one that will keep the children entertained with a few laughs along the way and one that will surely give adults pause for thought.
