Adventure is right here!

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2020)

This is my personal favorite pixar film. The music, dialogue, characters, comedy, and story have ingrained themselves into my brain forever as something to behold. This film succeeds every time to hit the right emotional buttons for me. This I believe is because of how greatly developed each element is.
A criticism I see thrown around is that the first 10 minutes are great, while the rest isn't. I strongly disagree, because this film isn't only about the first 10 minutes. It is about an old man getting the adventure of his lifetime, hoping to do it for his deceased wife, but eventually letting himself move on from it. The very end of the film when Carl lets his house float away saying "it's just an old house" perfectly encompasses this theme.
I can totally understand people not liking this movie as much as me, or preferring a different pixar film over this one (I love just about every pixar film) but subjectively, this film has had the greatest impact on my life, and I appreciate it to the moon and back.
