Up Gets a Thumbs Up !

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2009)

You know how Pixar sets new benchmark with each of its release? Yeah, Pixar has done it again, a few notch higher with its latest film, UP.
It is wonderfully crafted, nicely executed, and a thoroughly mesmerizing film, one which left imprints in your head long after you have watched it.
I like the main character, the cute and cuddly Boy Scout Russell, the beautiful humongous goose (?), the loyal dog, and the balloons.
But what I like most wasn't that.
What I like most of it is the way the film tries to be different from the other movies in its genre. The idea of flying your house to somewhere in the opposite part of the world, and meeting with many bizarre adventures, are absolutely amazing.
I mean, who could have thought about that? It takes a genius to think of it, and a group of super talented crew to put ideas into something this good.
The most intense fight in the genre for the best animation for the year, what's with other wonderfully made animations made in this year, i.e Wall*E. Well, I like both Wall*E and UP, but it just happens that I like UP a little bit more :)
