Pixar's best since Toy Story 2

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2009)

Admittedly, I don't really like children's movies. Even when they have adult themes or humor. No matter what they always have enough stuff throughout that is geared toward youngsters that just loses me. I didn't like kids movies as a kid and I don't like them now.
Up was really good. The first 10 minutes set up a movie that really made me care about the very touching character moments in between the kiddie stuff I loath so much. The second act was all silly kid humor all the time. Of course this wasn't my thing but it didn't last too long and there was plenty of great stuff in the second half that really worked. The running "kiddie" joke in the third act was actually really funny to me so it all worked for me.
My roommate says I have no soul and I should get in touch with my inner child. I don't have one... at all... but I liked this film anyway.
