Uplifting - animation at its finest.

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2009)

Pixar just keep producing wonderful films! Up is another spectacle of genius with poignant, resonant themes and a fun, exciting and humorous script.
Each and every character that we are introduced to has that personal quality whether being the grouchy yet determined Carl, the spritely and positive Kevin or the lovable Dug (the voice activated tag is a wonderful creation).
The running time for this film is the shortest yet for Pixar and it is near enough perfect (although the greed in me wanted a little more running time). The intelligence of the script, with numerous witty and inpromtu moments are a real glee, and the amount of effort and attention is there for all to see. The way Carl's walking frame is used at the end as a final scene is a real showcase of Pixar's illustrious imagination.
Up is more than sheer entertainment, it is an insightful and emotive picture wonderfully created and crafted. Up is a near enough flawless piece of art and it does not get much finer.
