Pixar's 10th Feature Goes All Out And Delivers Everything.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2013)

You'd be forgiven thinking Pixar jumped the shark with "UP", mostly in terms of what it could teach us.
Everything Pixar continues to do is extraordinary and wonderful as previous outings, but what I am bringing up for debate was the showing of the main characters inability to have children. Obviously the decisions towards the ending gives a character somewhat what they wanted, but my friend believes that showing that scene in the beginning was far too adult for a young audience. I merely saw it as part of the sequence it was illustrating. It was sad, quick and never really affected me UNTIL the end of said sequence. I suppose I just wish to know if someone else felt the same way as my friend did, and see if Pixar was in the right or wrong of bringing something so real that commonly affects couples into this extremely innocent and naive story. SAYING THAT, I applaud the creators for their maturity and handling of the subject matter.
Pixar's 10th feature is nevertheless gorgeous. It's charming and definitely stands up there as one of their best, "up" there with the original "Toy Story". Ed Asner as our lead Carl Fredricksen is possibly Disney's greatest character, and everyone else is suitably casted like every outing this company delivers.
Final Verdict: From the wonderful square skyscraper city, to the realistic cliffs and jungles of South America (Which the artists actually travelled to). "UP" is no doubt one of the most ambitious & emotional journeys a kids film could take you on. 10/10.
