At a time when too many animated films consist of anthropomorphized animals cracking sitcom one-liners and flatulence jokes, the warmth, originality, humor, and unflagging imagination of emUp /emfeel as welcome as rain in a desert. Carl Fredericksen (voice by Ed Asner) ranks among the most unlikely heroes in recent animation history. A 78- year-old curmudgeon, he enjoyed his modest life as a balloon seller because he shared it with his adventurous wife Ellie (Ellie Docter). But she died, leaving him with memories and the awareness that they never made their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America. When well-meaning officials consign Carl to Shady Oaks Retirement Home, he rigs thousands of helium balloons to his house and floats to South America. The journey's scarcely begun when he discovers a stowaway: Russell (Jordan Nagai), a chubby, maladroit Wilderness Explorer Scout who's out to earn his Elderly Assistance Badge. In the tropical jungle, Carl and Russell find more than they bargained for: Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer), a crazed explorer whose newsreels once inspired Carl and Ellie; Kevin, an exotic bird with a weakness for chocolate; and Dug (Bob Peterson), an endearingly dim golden retriever fitted with a voice box. More importantly, the travelers discover they need each other: Russell needs a (grand)father figure; Carl needs someone to enliven his life without Ellie. Together, they learn that sharing ice-cream cones and counting the passing cars can be more meaningful than feats of daring-do and distant horizons. Pete Docter (emMonsters, Inc/em. ) and Bob Peterson direct the film with consummate skill and taste, allowing the poignant moments to unfold without dialogue to Michael Giacchnio's vibrant score. Building on their work in emThe Incredibles/em and emRatatouille/em, the Pixar crew offers nuanced animation of the stylized characters. Even by Pixar's elevated standards, emUp /emis an exceptional film that will appeal of audiences of all ages. Rated PG for some peril and action. --emCharles Solomon/embr /br /span class="h1"strongStills from emUp/em (Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%" tbody tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF1_S.gif" width="300" / br //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF2_S.gif" width="300" / br //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF3_S.gif" width="300" / br //td /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF4_S.gif" width="300" //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF5_S.gif" width="300" //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF6_S.gif" width="300" //td br / /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF7_S.gif" width="300" //td tdimg height="200" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/disney/up/upF9_S.gif" width="300" //td tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/Disney/upF8_S.gif" //td /tr /tbody /table

5 out of 5 stars Another masterpiece from Pixar   November 22, 2009
Robert Moore (Chicago, IL USA)
There is probably no name I trust more today in film and television than Pixar (with the exception of Mutant Enemy). Both the quality of their productions and the excellence of their scripts stand out among animated films. I particularly loved this one because it shatters all previous templates for what a film is supposed to be about. The main protagonist is a 78-year-old man who bears a resemblance to to Spencer Tracy and his main traveling companion is a young, rotund Asian boy scout. Along the way they acquire a delightfully absurd and gigantic bird and a talking dog (while I saw this film I was reading Clifford D. Simak's CITY, which features several talking dogs, so for a while talking dogs were a motif in my cultural life). All of this while attempting to relocate a house carried by thousands of helium-filled balloons to a mythical spot in South America called Paradise Falls. And the entire affair was prefaced by a story within the story, of the story of Carl and Ellie's long life together. br / br /I've yet to see a Pixar movie that wasn't a complete delight. And as for the appropriateness for small children, I would not hesitate to show it to one. I think a child will find it entertaining, moving, and inspiring. The messages in the film are good, positive ones and I not only think that children can see this film without harm, but should be encouraged to do so.


4 out of 5 stars A near-great movie   November 22, 2009
David F. Nolan (Tucson, AZ United States)

I enjoyed "Up" quite a bit, despite some slow stretches and a couple of obvious plot holes - if Carl is 78 years old, Muntz would be 100+. Production is superb, and the opening segment, showing us Carl's life with his beloved Ellie, is touching and true-to-life. Once the main story begins, however, things spin slightly out of control; as with all Pixar movies, there's a lot of action for action's sake, even if it doesn't always make sense. Nonetheless, this is a fun movie, suitable for ages 8 and up. I'd give it 4.5 stars if Amazon allowed half-stars.


3 out of 5 stars Caution! Not for very young children!   November 22, 2009

For whatever reason, Disney once again resorts to gun violence to keep older kids entertained. There are also frightening scenarios involving dogs. Certainly, there are moments of laughter, and the serious subjects of aging, life and death are handled with sensitivity and respect. However, I urge caution before allowing children under ages five to six to watch the film. This story is marketed by Disney as a fun-filled family romp. The ads conveniently leave out the violence!


2 out of 5 stars not a kids movie   November 22, 2009

Rented the movie today and thought it was only OK. Certainly didn't live up to the Pixar reputation like the Incredibles and Toy Story. It was rather violent for an animated film and there was no solid plot to follow. Funny parts throughout the movie, but I can't see a child getting into it or being able to follow it.


1 out of 5 stars Loved it in theaters....but....   November 21, 2009

Watched it in the theater, loved it. br / br /Blu-ray arrived yesterday, won't play in my PS3, just sits there on black screen. All my other Blu-rays play just fine.
