Up was a very beautifully made movie. So many emotions were shed while watching it, laughter, sadness, joy, anger even. For me the idea of the movie was truly original. When I first heard the synopsis I was surprised at how creative the idea was, wondering what Pixar could do with it. It's no secret that Pixar are great at taking unique, original ideas and making magic with them. And after so many previous hits I wasn't worrying about this one. Pete Docter and Bob Peterson both have good Pixar credit. And when I watched the movie some characters who would be annoying under a different animation studio weren't annoying at all.
Specifically to Up Pixar makes you care about a fictional, computer animated characters life story in literally 5 minutes. Of course they tend to do this is every movie they make, not in 5 minutes but overall. The music also was perfect for the movie.
It also had the distinction of being the first Pixar film nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars so you really can't go wrong if you decide to watch it.
