A pure delight!

While I adore Pixar's films, I had no plans to see this on the big screen. It was an unusually hot night though, the air conditioner was struggling to keep up, and an escape to the theater was in order. I now consider that too-hot night a stroke of good fortune, because Up was terrific from beginning to end. I can't imagine how sorry I would be if I had missed it in all it's theatrical glory!
The characters were genuinely charming, the laughs plentiful and deep, and the story was tender and sweet without being insipid. The 3D effects were stunning without being over used.
Up was well worth the ticket price, which is more than I can say for most films!
