67/100 After the loss of his wife and the potential loss of his house, a man decides to travel to the place that his wife and him had always dreamed of moving to via a whole lot of balloons attached to his house. An exciting, fun, humorous and very personal story that was a delight to watch. All the characters were extremely likable, even the villain, but Kevin the bird and Dug the dog stole the show. Watching the old man and his wife spend a lifetime together was brilliantly portrayed providing the depth of character that made it all work. Good family fun. -- DrNostromo.com

I'm always struck by how much jeopardy and peril there is in modern family films. Not that it's a bad thing... But I was also the child who had to be taken out of the cinema during 101 Dalmatians, Pinocchio, and Bambi.

"UP" is a movie that begins with a poignant and emotional experience, immediately tugging at the heartstrings with a touching portrayal of loss and longing. The journey of Carl embarking on adventures inspired by his late wife's dreams is both heartfelt and captivating, drawing viewers into a world filled with emotion and wonder. The dynamic between Carl, Russell, Kevin, and Dug adds excitement and depth to the story, as they embark on extraordinary adventures together. The over-the-top and ridiculous villain brings a sense of thrill and suspense to the narrative, enhancing the overall viewing experience. The bond between Carl and Russell, an older gentleman and a Boy Scout, is a central highlight of the film, showcasing a beautiful and heartwarming relationship that blossoms through their shared adventures. The characters of Kevin, the big bird, and Dug, the dog with funny voices, provide comedic relief and add charm to the storyline, creating moments of lightness amidst the emotional weight of the narrative. While the confusion surrounding the wife's death may be a downside for some viewers, the presence of Muntz as a compelling and fully realized villain adds depth and tension to the plot, keeping audiences engaged throughout the film. Overall, "UP" is a beautifully crafted movie that skillfully balances emotional depth, humor, and adventure, offering a rich and immersive viewing experience for audiences of all ages. The film's ability to evoke a range of emotions and deliver a compelling story makes it a must-watch recommendation for everyone, promising an enjoyable and memorable cinematic journey.

Widowed "Carl" (anyone else thinks he looks like Henry Kissinger?) gets himself involved in an altercation with a construction worker that sees him court-ordered to the "Shady Oak" retirement home. He's having none of that, and on the day of his deportation releases thousands of balloons from his chimney. They manage to uproot his house and using some rudimentary sails he sets off in search of "Paradise Falls". Deep in South America lie these idyllic waters where he and his late wife dreamt of visiting. En route, and a few hundred feet up, he hears a knock at the door. It's "Russell". A boy scout from his home town who just happened to find himself on the balcony when it took flight. The two don't immediately bond, but after a thunderstorm when it becomes clear that the youngster has his uses, a truce sets in as they end up having to walk through the jungle towing his still airborne home behind them. This is when they meet the big-beaked "Kevin" and the talking dog "Dug". Continuing their search, they stumble upon an adventurer who is warm and welcoming, but is he all that he seems - especially when he learns of "Kevin"? The animation is lively and vibrant and it's quite good fun this adventure, with loads of sarcastic attitude from the curmudgeonly old git, a breezy and not too annoying child in "Russell" and a last ten minutes, or so, that are fairly action packed and enjoyable to watch. It's not my favourite Disney/Pixar film this, but it passes ninety minutes effortlessly enough.

A fun and charming adventure. <em>'Up'</em> certainly knows how to tug at the heartstrings. It creates a very meaningful story around Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), with the early scenes particularly standing out as superb. I don't overly enjoy the parts with Dug (Bob Peterson) and Kevin (Pete Docter), not that they are bad, though everything with Fredricksen, Russell (Jordan Nagai) and Charles F. Muntz (Christopher Plummer) is entertaining and/or hearty. Asner and Nagai do terrific, in what is one of Disney's 'best of the rest' films. There is some lovely music by Michael Giacchino, too. Go watch!
