Up (2009)

Imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1049413/
Directors: Pete Docter, Bob Peterson

When it comes to watching Computer animated movies, there is one unwritten rule that you can always follow = Pixar never fails !!! Up is the latest example of that rule. This time Pixar and Disney worked together to bring us this blockbuster. Up is director Pete Docter's second feature-length film after Monsters, Inc.


This is one of the few animated movies that is geared also to the slightly older demo-graph. The first 10 minutes of the movie is what i feel is one of the best parts of the movie. The story and the characters are what makes this movie filled with exuberance. Every individual character has a story and plays a vital role in developing the plot.
It is a heartfelt story of an old widower, who wants to fulfill his deceased wife's wish, and the the different characters that come across his path; The film centers around a grumpy old man named Carl Fredricksen and an overeager Wilderness Explorer named Russell who fly to South America in a floating house suspended from helium balloons. Sounds convoluted right? Well that what makes an adventure story that much better.

As cheesy as it amy sound; This is one high flying adventure you wont want to miss. It has elements of humor, fear, elation, and melancholy all jam-packed into one movie. If you are not moved or have not shed a single tear while watching this movie..then...its fairly obvious..you are a robot!
Up is one of those movies that you will regret not watching, especially if you like computer animated movies. This is probably one of my favorite Pixar movies after Toy Story. I would rate this a 4.5/5 stars.
