Up in the sky or the feeling of being up lifted.

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2009)

Carl Fredricksen played by Edward Asner is a young boy and starts out by watching his childhood hero Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer) who is in South America at Paradise Falls discovering new species or almost that is. Showing him with Spirit of Adventure Metal blimp which he takes his adventures in. Gets up to an abandoned home to find a girl named Ellie (Elie Docter) who like him wants to be like Muntz and have an adventure. Elle shows him her adventure book of Paradise Falls where it says its a land lost in time. She has the idea of going in a hot air balloon and makes Carl promise that they will both go there someday. Making that promise and then falling in love with Ellie only to get married when they are older. Unable to take that trip throughout most of his life he comes to the points where he looses everything and Elle passed on. Everything is being demolished around his house and when a machine hits his mailbox a guy tries to help him fix it and he hits him with his cane and runs away. After going to court he is forced with leaving his house and going to a Shady Oaks retirement home, but devises a plan and makes his house into somewhat of a hot air balloon. Prospects of going to Paradise Falls and having the adventure he has always been waiting for. He meets up with Wilderness Explorer Russell (Jordan Nagai) and talking dog Dug / Alpha (Bob Peterson). Going head to head with childhood hero Charles Muntz seen capturing a colored bird towards the end. Don't want to give much of the movie away, but this movie is sad and at the same time it makes you feel happy inside in the ending. Pixar did a great job and this is one of their movies that is probably one of the best of them all.
