Animated movies are not only for children

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2013)

I am usually a fan of good animated movies as they put very good ideas and themes through simple symbols. They have everything simple yet complex. But for children these topics go easy and subconsciously.
So this movie is how a person named Carl gets older after a wonderful and full of love life, he stays alone and finally when everybody wants him to go to the Old People's home, he packs up his helium balloons and flies away. Literally.
I actually did not know what this movie will be about when I sat down to watch it. I thought it's going to be some nice simple movie about relationship, but I did not expect for everybody to pack up and leave for South America. And I certainly did not expect talking dogs searching for a giant bird.
Most people might think that "oh, it's an animated movie, it's for children, what the hell can I learn from it?" Wellactually quite a lot, if it's good animated movie. You know, just because it's animated doesn't mean that it's worth nothing. It just like a movie with completely unknown actors. But hey, I'm getting of the topic.
What this movie shows for me (because we all might interpret it quite differently) is that adventure only stops when you allow it to stop. So, you're old. So, you live alone. So, you never traveled. That doesn't mean that you will never have any adventures. They are just around the corner. You can see it if you let it. Of course, sometimes we need help in order to spot them or to truly enjoy them. And our pride or loneliness might not allow us to let anyone help us. But it's not such a fun adventure if you're having it alone. Other people is what makes the adventure truly remembered. And sometimes one adventure is all you need to take another look at your life.
The way you see life, is it boring or no, depends on you and only you. If you are not allowing others to help you, you are the only one to blame if you say that you are lonely. I think these are great things to say to children who might start to say that they're bored. How can you be bored, when adventure is out there?
