Sky pilots, how high can you fly?

Rating: 7/10 (6 June 2010)

Now here's an unusual movie. Pete Docter's "Up" portrays elderly Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner) attaching balloons to his house and sailing it to a South American waterfall and finding even more than he bargained for. I've never been a fan of Disney, but this one had some out-of-the-ordinary stuff (for a Disney movie, that is), namely when Carl scornfully calls someone a hippie. As far as I can tell, the major theme is the completion of long-standing promises - Carl's deceased wife had long dreamed of going to the waterfall - and Carl's return from the brink of total senility.
All in all, "Up" is not my favorite movie, but worth seeing. Also starring Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, Bob Peterson, and John Ratzenberger, and even former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Laraine Newman in a supporting role.
Squirrels can be a problem. My parents recently installed bird feeders, and the squirrels always try to get into them.
