UP

No, not a movie about our northern peninsula.

Once again Pixar fails to disappoint, in spades. I admit I had my doubts going into this one, but they hit it out of the park. Again. This one had their traditional short opener, and excellent end titles as well. There is so much good stuff going on I don't know where to start. Don't blink, because you'll miss something. It's sweet, and delivers several morals without being preachy, just matter-of-fact. Younger kids might not get everything being said, but can be brought up in apres-movie conversations. I don't know that younger than 10 or so could handle this, as there are some tense moments and threatening situations. The audience for my showing were related to the Pixar folks, I think, because there was much overreaction on the adults' part.
It is a movie you can really get into, however; so go for it. They have their characterizations down pat, right down to the pack mentality, personality of different dogs, and the effects of isolation on unstable humans...
Oh, don't be an old fuddy-duddy, just go see it.

I finally watched UP last night and I cried my eyes out.  I don't think it was the full moon or hormones

 

I thought it was a very touching movie.  Cliff thought I was a major goof and fell asleep when we were 20 minutes into the movie.

Glad you enjoyed it!  Guys can be SO insensitive sometimes...

Great film great film i got in on my pc and on a dvd (£2.50 lol) 5/5.

Great score, Joe!   Up is one I'll have to add to my collection too.  I already have but it's my Aunts copy so I suppose I should give it back.

hehe true (C-C-C-Can i come in.........) (No!) hehe

Squirrel!!!  tee hee

I've been wanting to see this, the previews looked great. I'll have to pick it up (no pun intended )

I think it's really a good movie.  There are some parts that may seem a little slow for being a cartoon, but overall its great.

I want to get my first Blu-ray DVD.  My DVD player is on its last legs so I'm using some Airmiles (that I was saving, waiting for Boo to invite me over, but doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon) to get a Blu-ray player.  I wanted to get a DVD that would have some scenic value.  Up looks like it would look good in DVD. I wasn't sure about the movie itself, though.  I thought the previews looked lame, but it's getting good reviews from critics and movie goers alike.

Definitely worth getting and viewing, Blue!  More adults than kids were laughing at this one, but lots of good topics for discussion, too, for the kiddles.
