It has been said plenty a time before, but...well...the folks at Disney and Pixar have done it again. "Up" is, perhaps, their most charming, touching, and exciting animated feature yet - at least in my opinion. If there is a fulfilling movie for all the family, this is surely one. "Up" comes in a fabulous package that includes both Blue Ray and DVD copies of the film, plus a Digital Copy.
Early in the film, we meet young Carl Fredricksen, who dreams of embarking on an adventure trip to South America, just like his hero, Charles Muntz, a famous adventurer. Carl meets young Ellie, who also has the same dreams and aspirations. Carl makes a living by selling balloons, and eventually falls in love, gets married to and ages together with Ellie. Unfortunately, they are not able to realize their dream of going to Paradise Falls, in South America, due to lack of money. Sadly, Ellie passes away due to old age, and Carl is left alone in the house that he shared with his one and only love. Some time after this sad episode, Russell, a young explorer, knocks at his door. He claims that he needs to get a badge for assisting an elderly person, so that he can earn the title of Senior Wilderness Explorer. After being pestered by Russell for a while, Carl agrees to help him, and gives him some work at his yard.
One day, just when Carl is about to be forced to move to a retirement home, he attaches thousands of balloons to the foundation of his house, creates his own makeshift blimp, and flies away, to everyone's surprise. He doesn't realize that Russell was at the porch of his home by the time his house took off. Initially angry at the kid, Carl unwillingly accepts his uninvited guest on his trip. After some time, too, Carl learns about the need of love that Russell had, and takes him under his umbrella. Together they will embark on an unforgettable journey, which will include storms, exotic wildlife, talking dogs, and in which they will meet an unexpected ghost from the past.
"Up" is a beautiful and colorful movie, with great, true values and feelings. It's about life, aging, death, and friendship, and I'm very sure that it will reach your heart and the best of you. This fascinating set includes four discs. Disc One is the Blue Ray with the feature film, plus extras, like the theatrical short "Partly Cloudy," alternate scenes, a making-of documentary, and more. Disc Two is another Blue Ray, loaded with more extras, such as a multilayered geography game, eight documentaries, and much more. On the other hand, Disc Three is a DVD copy of the film, also containing some extras. Lastly, Disc Four contains a digital copy of the film. Released November 10, 2009. (USA, 2009, color, 96 min plus additional material)
