After the failure of "Wall-E" it's good to see Pixar has redeemed themselves with another great movie. As a fan of Pixar I think they have done a fantastic job with "Up". The 3D effect was very cool. It was my first full-length 3D movie and I found the effect simple and not overdone. No headaches either. In short, the movie was funny, charming, lovable characters, heartwarming, well written, clever and the animation was outstanding. A couple of little PC lessons were in the movie but not enough to mention. I did like the overall theme of the importants of a man in a child's life. Seems us men get villainized more then we get endorsed.
Due to the PG rating I did not bring my 3 year old with me. There were a few short scary scenes that would have bothered him but most of the movie would be considered G rated. Because we do not have TV at home my son is not used to (or desensitized to) violence or intense movie scenes but if your child is accustomed to it I think this PG movie should be okay for them. It really was very mild.
The short was also amusing. Not their best but entertaining non-the-less.
Note: As great a character as Dug the dog is it's not an original idea. Dexter's Lab season 2 episode 65 "Dexter's Lab: A Story" did the same exact thing. Both are very funny.
