This is the first Pixar movie that I didn't totally love. The movie starts out great and appears that it will be a fun and sensitive look into a life lived, goals planned for but postponed and sharing love through it all. Unfortunately I think that about 2/3 the way through the movie the Disney execs walked in and said "this is too boring, only old people will appreciate this and our target audience is the 8 year old male. Put more stupidity in and be sure to have lots of bodily fluids, 8 year old males love bodily fluids, I mean look what it does for Dreamworks!". So the chance is missed, what could have been a great movie that would be treasured for years ends up just another piece of tripe. THe ironic thing is that no 8 years old will be happy sitting through the first part of the movie and no adult will like the last part of the movie. One can only hope that this is an aberration in an otherwise stellar path for Pixar. One can only dread that the DIsney marketing and audience research experts have taken over Pixar and all we will see going forward is more tripe.Get more detail about Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray].
