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/em

5 out of 5 stars Double Standard   November 20, 2009
E. Moody (B.C. Canada)
I haven't watched this movie yet but its something I am looking forward to watching. I agree with previous reviews that prices are way to high comapared to American prices.not just in DVDs but other products as well, I have tried to order from the Amazon US site to get a better deal on prices but instead was directed back to the Canadian Amazon site and higher prices.I don't know about the rest of you but I don't like the double standard, not just with Amazon, but with other American companies as well.

5 out of 5 stars Pixar did it again!   November 11, 2009

The Movie Itself: br /When I first watched this movie in theaters, I was thrilled. It was a movie meant for everyone. The novelistic first quarter, with Carl Fredericksen the love of his life, Ellie, their fantasized story made us adults cry. The next two quarters were intriguing and kept pace with adults and kids like, made us laugh in way only Pixar can, and set us up for an ending that was perhaps most suited for kids but was satisfying for all generations. Pixar has a track record that is unparalleled by any other studio. With "Up" they have proven to us once again that there is more left in their tank to surprise us with. br / br /The Video: br /Pixar Home Videos are reference quality discs and this one is also perfect. The MPEG4 AVC 1080p transfer in 1.78:1 aspect ratio is breathtaking. Colours are spectacular, flesh tones are natural, blacks and whites are vibrant, the motion and detail is extraordinary and leaps out of the screen. Okay I have run out of words so I hope you all get the idea. br / br /The Audio: br /As impressive as the video is the DTS HDMA 5.1 track. You can actually feel the atmosphere through the speakers. The control of the channels is perhaps the best I can recall in recent memory. Heck I could even feel the wind blowing through the house when its lifted up in the air. The balloons rubbing against each other and the briefest of sounds were clear. It really is a treat and its one of those few times when my surround sound investment seems to be worthwhile. br / br /Final Words: br /Up has it all, its perhaps the best release of the year if considered as package. Its presentation is second to none and its a movie that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages including some of us who think they are too old for everything. I hope everyone picks it up and enjoys it for years to come. Highly Recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent! Best experience ever....   November 11, 2009

As an average movie viewer (and not a professional critic) I loved this animated movie. Excellent story line and a very touching movie. Characters are well presented and the animal-human connection is so well presented it is believable. It's probably the best PIXAR movie I have seen so far, save the Incredibles. Loved it and can't wait to own this dvd. Highly recommended 5/5.
