A Surprisingly Emotional Roller-coaster

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2014)

The thing about 'movies for kids' is that they are quite often not believable due to the impression they formulate that everything is a happy story with a happy ending. Their lack of 'sad scenes' make them somewhat forgettable, but I have to say that Up is an exception. Of course the ending is happy because the ending has to be happy, but to put it bluntly, Up is the first Disney or Pixar movie that made me cry. Its 3-dimensional characters are some of the best characters I've seen, its plot is adventurous yet at the same time believable and its soundtrack is pretty darn good too. The added little extras, such as Doug's genius catchphrases (e.g. 'Point!' and 'I just met you, and I love you') add that little bit extra to it as well. A brilliant idea for a story, executed almost to perfection. A very enjoyable watch
