Heartbreaking but Hopeful

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2013)

One of the most touching love stories of all time is told in five minutes and without sound. If you watch this movie with someone and they don't cry, beware- they might not have a soul. When this film came out, a lot of people gave Pixar flack for having another male dominant movie. Brave, was the first Pixar film with a female protagonist. While the point against Pixar is valid, I felt it distracted from how good Up was. I don't believe this movie would work as well with if the genders were reversed. I thought it was unfair that such a strong film had to face undeserved criticism. For my full review check out my blog http://amandalovesmovies.com/2012/03/19/up/
