Up

This movie is like the perfect animated movie! After seeing Wall-E I thought how can they top that, but they proved me wrong.

Yes, Up is sad, its painfully sad, I cried, but it still doesn't stop the movie from being great. Im a young adult and my sister is 11 we both cried like babies but, were good at handling things like this, if you have a child that is emotional or sensitive then, maybe they shouldn't see this movie just yet.

The story of a grumpy old man, wanting to fulfill his and his late wife's dream of getting away was very creative to me. The little boy was adorable and added great comic relief and some parts had me laughing out of my seat.

The colors were vivid and made some of it seem so surreal the way the balloons floated lifted the house and took them were they wanted to go.

Some people seem to hate this movie because it was sad, but I think this whole movie wasn't just about loss it was about life! When the movie is showing The old man(sorry I cant remember his name right now!)and his wife's life together, there is a point were there filling up this jar full of money so they may go on the trip that they've wanted since they were kids. But each time, "life" happens like a broken roof, or window, they have to crack the jar open so that they can fix what ever has happened.

I just think people shouldn't be so hard on a movie just because you find is sad...

Anyway this movie was amazing and if anyone has time they should go and see it!. Also I recommended Download Free Me, Myself &; Irene Movie

Up has some of the saddest moments ever seen in an animated feature since Bambi, great visuals, wonderful imagination, some great gags (though not as many as in other Pixar films), and a positive message.

So why wasn't I swept up in it?

I had real problems with plot holes and character development, this time around. The appearance of the fantastic in a fairly realistic story (hoisting the house up by the balloons) was too big a leap for me. And Carl's conflicts with boyscout Russell, snipe Kevin and dog Doug felt sort of gratuitous, though my wife pointed out correctly that his problem was he didn't want to admit anything new into his life after his wife died. But then, the conflict with the builders wasn't the best way to get that point across (better if Carl lived in a wonderful neighborhood but shut everyone out of his life, instead of living in a situation where he was a clear victim). Similarly, once he meets Kevin and Doug, it's just bizarre he doesn't use them to help him get the house to Paradise Falls (as they both were clear assets in that respect). Finally, hero-turned-villain Charles Muntz should have been far older than Carl (at least 35 years between them) and his 'heel turn' was so extreme and so illogical, it just didn't fit the theme of the film.

Though it would have been an extreme downer, the film would have made more sense if it had been the fantasy of an old man about to be shipped off to the living hell of a retirement home. But that would have sent all audiences home in a state of depression...

It's clear to me that Pixar should develop an animated feature project intended primarily for an adult audience. Twice, now (here and in WALL-EE) they take mature subject matter with a real edge, and then they back away from taking it as seriously as they should. And end up with a manipulated feel-good ending, which diminishes the film as a whole (unlike, say, Toy Stories 1 and 2, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles)..
