Amazing, Intelligent, You Name It, "Up" by Pixar!

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2015)

Up is an animated movie produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures on May 29th, 2009. The movie introduces us the adventures of Carl, an elderly widower, Russel, a Wilderness Explorer, Dug the dog and a rare exotic bird named Kevin, just to name a few characters.
Carl aged 78, sets out to fulfill his dream shared with his late wife, Ellie. This dream started at a very young age, when Carl met Ellie, she confesses to him that she wants to move a clubhouse to "Paradise Falls" located in South America. They get married and have a rough life together, with Ellie dying because of old age. One day, after an incident with a construction worker, Carl was to be taken to a retirement home. Surely, with his experience as a balloon seller at a zoo, and the unhappy thought of living his last years in a retirement house, he ties thousands of balloons to his rooftop and floats away. What a crazy idea that is! The only little nuisance is, there is an unexpected passenger on board, Russel, a Wilderness Explorer. Carl has no choice but to accept Russel and his presence on board his house.
I love this story, it is full of teeth gritting adventures and lots of elderly action! (seriously) My favorite character is Kevin, a female exotic bird that is being chased by Muntz and primarily what the whole story is actually about. Pixar did their very best with this movie and they really deserved the "Best Picture" award. The characters felt very real to me, both soulfully and with the amazing, vivid 3D graphics. "Up" kept me at the edge of my seat, I was always waiting for something to happen and kept making assumptions and conclusions throughout the movie.
My favorite part of the movie is when Carl realizes that what his wife wants him, is to be happy, and to go find new adventures. That is when he mans up and hurries after Russel who was flying/floating away. The scenes showing how Carl and Ellie grew up together, when they got married, when they restored the "clubhouse" and up until Ellie's death were very well portrayed in my opinion. This movie touched my heart and made me feel an array of emotions. I was sad, depressed when Ellie died, amazed when they survived the thunderstorm, happy when they all got together for some ice-cream. This movies is DOPE!
This is such an amazing movie and such a great work of art done by Pixar! I would recommend this to anyone, of any age. I look forward to watching this with my friends and family again! Thank you!
