Another Hit Movie for Pixar

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2009)

Pixar is to animated films as Mark Goodson was to game shows, and it showed why Up has become another hit for the company, thanks to great visuals, outstanding computer animation and the voicework of Ed Asner as a senior citizen whose house goes aloft. But he isn't alone, since Russell, a scout is aboard to help him out as they encounter bad guys, a strange bird and other obstacles.
There was one aspect of Up that reminded me of WALL-E when there was a stretch of about 10 minutes at the movie's quarter point without any dialogue. It show's why Pixar is so good at telling stories without using a lot of dialogue.
One constant in Pixar's voice cast is John Ratzenberger, who has a role in all of the company's films. Even though he had a small role, it was great to hear the familiar voice.
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the movie and recommend to anyone who will head up to your local theatre to see it.
