Anyone who has ever seen a PIXAR movie knows that the brilliant people behind the computers make movie enjoyable by everyone! That's right, a kid's movie enjoyable by an adult but with no inapropriate humor to make it happen. Everyone likes PIXAR movies. Even angsty emo teenagers who grumble through the whole thing are secretly touched by their honest storytelling.
I've had the same boyfriend for 5 years neow and I have never ONCE seen him cry in a movie. I, on the other hand, cry at the drop of the hat. Of course I'm crying through the for 5 minutes of the movie, but I look over at my boyfriend and see *GASP* he too is crying! But don't worry parents! This movie is not overly sad. PIXAR knows what is neccisary in a story and how to tell it tastefully. The first 5 - 10 minutes is rather sad, but it is a natural part of life.
Of course the rest of the movie is pure genius. I'm always surrounded by dogs and they nailed the personality of the dogs perfectly. From their frequent distractions to their frightening intensity when on the hunt. Kevin is also delightful and the boy is easy to relate to.
The only thing that really shocked me in this movie was the demise of the villan. ***SPOILER*** I am terrified by heights and when I watched him slide of the side of the balloon and fall to the earth I felt my stomach go somewhere far away ***SPOILER*** While this is rather shocking it's really the only way for this story to end.
People with younger kids may find themselves explaining death to their toddler, but this is a talk we all need to have with out kids at some point. Other than that, UP! was delightful! I laughed, I cried, I found myself quoting the movie for many months afterwards. Thank you John LasseterGet more detail about Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray].
