Up is a great film and defiantly ranks as one of Pixar's best- as well as one of the best animated films of the last ten years. The only films that can compare are Pixar's Wall-E and The Incredibles. The film is just a pure delight and one of the most mature films to come from the company that is without a doubt the most consistently entertaining studio in all of Hollywood. It was easily the most mature, well thought out film I viewed during the 2009 Summer Movie Season, and I'm sure it will be … more

What a great uplifting movie. The animation is wonderful, in fact I almost forgot that it was animated after 30 minutes. The story is completely 100% improbable, but so believeable and heartwarming. Up is a road movie. In the first 10 minutes Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner's voice) grows up, falls in love, gets married, and his wife dies before they can take their dream adventure trip to Paradise Falls. The first teary eyed moment. To avoid being hauled off to a retirement home, … more

As Pixar makes more movies they seem to get more mature as they go along. Though their earlier films are great they seem positively simple in comparison to some of their most recent work. "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," and "Wall-E" are all family films that seem more intended for adults with their complex characters and storylines. I have a feeling that "Up" may be seen as Pixar's "coming of age" film. A movie so thoughtful, so mature, so right about life in general, that public will have to … more

Being a person who is afraid of heights, it's a wonder why I went and saw this movie. I know, I know...it's an animation. But we are talking about Pixar here. These are the same people who challenge reality with their 3 Dimensional pixel interpretations of it. So, yeah, the continuous shots way UP there had me a little phobic. It's a little embarrassing really. There I am – a grown man – trying to maintain composure, while surrounded by a bunch of laughing children who no … more

I took my 4 year old daughter to see Up and we both thought it was awesome. She said it was the best movie she had ever seen which is crazy since it did not involve a princess. A couple of notes (No major spoilers but avoid if you are going to see it and don't want to know anything about the story or characters): Humanity: I couldn't believe how touching the story was. In a matter of minutes, the movie had me emotionally invested in the characters. … more
