Seriously...i hate Pixar movies...but I LOVED THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2010)

Yes, I know, I'll admit it...I hate Pixar's work, but for whatever reason I loved this movie. Everything about it is so well done. The 2 main voices are excellent. I've never even heard of the guy who plays Mr. Fredrickson's voice. I've seriously never heard of him before, and now I need to check more of his work out, because his voice was spot on! I know of Christopher Plummer. Another excellent choice! The plot is about a kid named Fredrickson who wants to be an explorer and along the way he meets a girl named Ellie, who also wants to be an explorer. They both got married and spent their whole life together! In the end she passed away and Mr. Fredrickson is now an old man and he is lonely and just downright depressed. When the retirement village are ready to take him away he takes off with his house with flying balloons hoisting him into the air! Along the way Mr. Fredrickson meets a very annoying kid named Russel. They are now in Paradise Falls and they encounter talking dogs! But how? When? And who do they belong to and what do the dogs want with them? Excellent, funny, cute and very sad and heartbreaking movie! I recommend it to anyone of all ages! 10/10!
