I saw Disney/Pixar’s Up yesterday and I now believe it to be my favorite Pixar film of all. Yes, even better than the original Toy Story which has always held a special place in my heart.
I saw myself in Carl Fredricksen throughout the entire film. A man who loves exploring and traveling and going on adventures of all sorts, but was a slight bit grouchy all the time.
I know this review is coming very late after the film has already been in theaters for a while, but do yourself the favor and see it ASAP. It’s one of the best movie-going experiences I’ve ever had and the film has definitely bumped another movie from my list of top 10 for sure (I just don’t know which one…haha). When this movie comes out on DVD, I’m going to get it. And if it comes in a special edition package, I’m going to get that. And if there are Carl Fredricksen action figures or Dug action figures, I’m going to try and snag one of them (or both!).

By the way, I really hope Disney/Pixar licenses some company to make a gigantic Carl Fredricksen mask like the one seen above. The old man on the left of Carl is Edward Asner, the actor who plays Carl’s voice.
MAN, I’m gonna be like the last person to see this movie!

Hate to be the party pooper and a minor distraction from the innocence of this film. This is rather to highlight the humanity of and applaud Pixar and further compound the general warm feeling around this movie. If you are moved not even slightly by this heart-wrenching story, I think we may have found a robot among us.
i LOVED this one! i want to watch it again in 3D!
Top of my list of movies to see are Transformers and public enemies and despite myself I would quite like to see Harry Potter, lol.. Doesn’t it just make you want to be a wizard!
