AKA: Altamente!
Summary: By tying thousands of balloons to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

Up seemed like a great treatment that was never fully fleshed out into an actual script. The animation is brilliant, definitely the best rendering of a human character I've seen, but the plot points have little to no set up. Worst of all, when the poignant scenes come, I just don't feel like Up's earned them.

Very entertaining, and quite funny, too. It falls into too many cliches at the beginning of the third act, but then the action picks back up and is excellent to the end, and the montage early on is truly touching. Not Pixar's best, but certainly up there.

Enjoyable for an evening out. The opening sequence was moving, and I really appreciated the use of montage to tell that part of the story. However, I mostly disliked the out-of-nowhere escalation toward attempted murder and death near the end--too much for the goofy fun everywhere else. I enjoyed the dogs, Russell, and the way Carl's tenderness for Ellie expands to others as his grief fades. The house makes for a nice metaphor for the grief that Carl is struggling to put off. A fun movie.

Pixar's "Up" is truly delightful, a gorgeous-looking film with a lot of heart and tenderness. I didn't find it to be as amiable, sharp or quietly intelligent as last year's "Wall-E", but I did enjoy its gargantuan scale of adventure, and its lead character Carl. With "Up," Pixar again proves they are light-years ahead of the game with a bold story, memorable characters, and truckloads of imagination. It's about storytelling rather than pop-culture references.

Pixar delivers again. The underlying story is a touching bit of whimsy that deals with some serious subjects (dealing with loss, reconciling oneself to broken dreams and promises, etc) as well as with delightful escapades (old timey explorers, the exaggerated zoological information found in old accounts of foreign lands). It is a "kids' film" so there are a few more wacky aspects than I would have liked, but unlike many in the genre it has heart enough to appeal to all ages.

One of the most moving animated pictures I have ever seen and one of the best pictures of the year, period. THIS is how family entertainment should be and Pixar continues to provide films that don't condescend to children or adults, having confidence in their audience. Can't have enough praise for the film, just have to demand that you see it. Now!

In my opinion, Up is easily the best work Pixar have done so far. It perfectly blends the potent and treasured memories of old age with a great sense of adventure, surreal comedy and some very memorable and excellently animated characters. It effortlessly glides between some very real and down-to-earth emotions and a physical comedy adventure without ever feeling disjointed or out of place. The only real downside is connected to the villain who often feels too much like someone from Wacky Races.

Another lovingly crafted Pixar film. The opening sequences are definitely one of the high points of the film, they're so simple, and you know what's going to happen, but it still hits you hard. The entire movie is a fun, exciting, fast-paced heartfelt film, exactly what you expect from Pixar. As such this is definitely a film that both kids and adults are going to enjoy, with enough insight into the older characters to really connect you with them. Another standout Pixar film, watch it.

Another great film from Pixar! The first quarter with Carl and Ellie is beautiful - no dialogue, but so much depth. Terrific voice cast, especially Ed Asner. There's an alternation between the most touching emotions, then ingenious humor. One part I really liked SQUIRREL!?!?!

ust another emotionally-fueled yet hilarious, character driven yet action-packed, beautifully rendered and detail-perfected Pixar adventure. Though slightly less original than Pixar's unreal pinnacle, it is still likely to be the best movie released this year because quality is never ever ever sacrificed for anything when it comes to Mr. Lasseter and his team of creative geniuses.

Aw, I loved this. Definitely one for repeat viewings. It was a great story with great animation, nothing short of what we've come to expect from Pixar. There were a few moments when I was reminded that I was watching a kids' movie (like the doberman's loose wire voice), which was a little jarring and took me out of the moment for a second, but overall, they tackle making an animated film suitable for people of all ages extremely well.

This was the first Pixar movie to actually make me cry, and that's saying something. It's gorgeous, original, funny, touching, and completely unconventional. In some cases, though, I would have liked some sort of explanation for some of the plot points - who took Carl and Ellie's photographs, and where the hell did Muntz get all those dogs? But that really doesn't matter all that much - in the end, Pixar has just given us yet another instant classic.

The condensed love story at the start is beautiful. Some music and short, delicate scenes convey a lifetime of joy and sorrow. Jettisoning that subtlety in favour of such broad, obvious comedy is infuriating. The idea seems to be: if a house can fly, then anything goes. Fuck those dogs and that bird! Some genuine Pixar moments slip through, but this continued disneyfication is a worrying trend.

Another win for Pixar, obviously. The voice talent in this film is astoundingly real. The opening sequence is a cinematic masterpiece. Dug is the cutest thing since Wall-E. The only thing I found uninspired was the tacky, unmotivated villain.
