Another level of storytelling

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2020)

During the movie I was moved several times. The animations are breathtaking, but the storytelling made 'Up' a real Pixar gem. It contains such an important message and the way they told it was simply beautiful. It felt so real and human. Loved the character development though, the little details, the montage... Especially the part in the beginning where Carl and Ellie's life was illustrated, without any dialoge. The characters are so likeable, which made me feel connected to them immediately. During happy times, I felt their joy and at the same time I cried several times - especially when Ellie died and during the ending scene.
Before I forget to mention: this movie is HILARIOUS. For sure one of my favorite Pixar movies (and man, they set the bar high).
Overall, I'm deeply impressed. I would truly recommend watching 'Up', it deserves the high ranking.
