Editorial Reviews: Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take moviegoers up, up and away on one of the funniest adventures of all time with their latest comedy-fantasy. Up follows the uplifting tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly imaginative adventure.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Fun Movie, Great Package! Comment: Easily $10 cheaper than Walmart or Best Buy. I would totally recommend this. Was a pleasure to watch in Blue-Ray. Crisp and clean animation with a rollercoaster of emotions from sentimental to slapstick. Also, Blue-Ray, DVD and Digital versions are included. A total deal. Customer Rating: Summary: Let go of the past and be part of the present! Comment: That to me is the theme of this movie. It's an outstanding offering by Pixar that covers a wide array of emotions, has several good messages, and is just plain fun to watch. It'll make you teary eyed at times and in other parts have you laughing out loud. When I first saw the promos for this I thought it be ridiculous with the floating house bit so I was hesitant to buy it. But after all good reviews from friends and zero bad ones I got it for myself. The floating house not only works, it's perfect for the story line! Don't want to give any of it away, just going to say that if you have any heart at all, you simply have to watch this movie. It's great for children and adults. Customer Rating: Summary: Yes! See it! Enjoy it - in-spite of some heavy doses of weirdness! Comment: This movie has some heavy doses of weirdness that make it hard for me to digest, but "Dug" the-talking-dog really grows on me. He makes me laugh out loud and love him at the same time. There is a strong life lesson at the end about the value of committed relationships adding more to life than achieving shared life goals. After seeing it the first time by renting it, I purchased the Deluxe 2-disk addition - not because I wanted the digital copy but because the special features are really great and you cant get them on the single disk DVD. Yes! See it! Enjoy it - in-spite of some heavy doses of weirdness. :-) Customer Rating: Summary: No NEED for VILLIANS Comment: I really enjoy the first half of this movie, for this reason I bought it. The old mam the child, the flying house, the big bird, even the dog. It was touching... The film fails in the end with its...(or film makers, as every animation movie is made from a lot of talented creative people) use or introduction of a VILLAIN!. Kids I talked to say the same thing, the villain was not necessary, or the worse aspect of the film. The movie would have been better paced out if they just found things from the Villain who should have been dead by then anyways(years???). If they had the dogs acting as a pack, carrying out his wishes then maybe... Better yet they should have had the story focus on the jungle, and the goal of reaching Paradise Falls, using the jungle and the other animals as well hurdles. Finding Nemo could be used as an example for its no usage of a true villain. Nemo had obstacles, more than one villain. Or hurdles, where they overcome the best and worse of what the sea had to offer. No I don't think the girl and the dentist where villains. Wall-e was good too, Bolt was ok, Cars... villains are overrated unless they truly engulf the film... most of the fav villains have been from 2d classic movies(most are women?)... Monster House was a good sort of villain(again a woman). Monster Inc is good... I hope the reason for the delay of Finding Nemo on BLU-RAY is that they plan to release it in 3D like Toy Story1 and 2.... I doubt it.... Customer Rating: Summary: Two thumps up, up, up, up, up! Comment: Pixar has a pretty good track record if you ask me. Of their releases there is only one that I cannot stand (`Cars') but there are quite a few I consider absolutely wonderful (`Ratatouille', `The Incredibles') and one that I consider a near masterpiece (`Finding Nemo'). In my personal opinion, `Up' is the best thing they have ever done. It is, quite frankly, a modern masterpiece in animated filmmaking. Seriously. The plot is pretty simple on the outset. Carl Fredricksen (who looks an awful lot like Spencer Tracy) is a crotchety old widower who is holding onto the only memory he has of his departed wife; their home and a dream of adventure. When circumstances shift, paving the way for Carl to be court ordered to a nursing home, he decides to try his hand at adventure by tying thousands of balloons to his roof and going up, up, up and away. With a young stowaway named Russell, an overweight boy-scout of sorts, Carl sets off in hot pursuit of Paradise Falls, the land he and his beloved wife always dreamed of exploring. Let's get one thing straight; this is a story about a floating house, so don't expect it to be realistic. To those who pick apart plot holes such as "where was Russell's mother this whole time" and the like, sure it isn't realistic, but are you really expecting it to be? One thing I will agree on is that this is a very sad and dramatic film that may not be suitable for all children. I do feel that it may be good for children who face similar situations as Russell to see their home life displayed in a sweetly appealing setting like the one presented in this animated film, but I do also feel that some subjects discussed may be too deep or even unsettling at times for young ones. It was choking me up. Within the first ten minutes we are introduced to themes such as the inability to have children (or it possibly could have been a miscarriage) and the death of a spouse. Themes such as single parent families and neglect come into play as well, and the ending, which is sweet, is also laced with sadness. The film will make you smile and laugh, but it will make you cry A LOT. With that solitary caution (it does tend to get very violent towards the end as well, and with attacks made on a child I find that it may be a concern to a parent) I have to say that this is a very, very, very good movie; great even. No, better than great; it is a MASTERPIECE. The animation is stellar, the concept is original and engaging, the humor is strong and the gags are all on point, fresh and welcome. For me, it was nice to see such strong emotional themes explored in this context. It adds a different layer to the general consensus of dramatic entertainment. Sure, this is no where near as gritty or as overwhelming as `Grave of the Fireflies', but `Up' allows the humor to play a perfect balance to the mature point of view this film is taking. There are very few animated films that can handle both sides of the spectrum with such grace and eloquence.
