Up - another great Pixar flick

I don't think Pixar has ever made a bad movie. The tradition continues with Up. Up follows Carl, an elderly man, who always dreamed of adventure, but in living life he was never able to make it to his dream place, Paradise Falls. When Carl's wife passes away, and then it looks as though he will lose his beloved home, Carl decides that it is finally time to make the trip to Paradise Falls. Carl decides that he is going to take his home with him, so he uses thousands of helium balloons to take him there. There is a small chink in Carl's chain though---Russell, a well meaning, sweet kid who is kind of a pest to Carl. Russell just happens to be under Carl's porch when Carl and his home "take off." Thus the 2, a curious, innocent boy, and a jaded, heartbroken old man, go on an adventure only Pixar could create.

Whether you like animated films or not, you can not deny that Pixar makes some of the most visually amazing things put on film. Up is no different. The colors are beautiful, the surroundings are ridiculously detailed, and the characters are different from any other film you've ever seen. Apart from the visuals of the film, the story is heartbreaking, thrilling, funny, and heartwarming. Now, some of you may be saying, "Come on! It's a cartoon! It can't be that emotional." And yes, I agree that you would have a point. Animated films may be a little hard to get emotionally involved with because it is so unreal. But the story in Up is so good, you really just can't help but get into the story to that point.

I recommend this movie to everyone. Regardless of whether you like animated films or not, I bet you will (but may never admit out loud) enjoy it. At the very least, you'll be in a better mood after you watched than before. The graphics are just cool; so you'll have fun just looking at all of that. The story is interesting. There is plenty of action. Good things happen to the good people and bad things to the bad people. It is just a great movie, and if you watch it and think it sucks, I think you are either having just a terrible day or you maybe just be a terrible person and you need to reevaluate your approach to life because this is just a totally fun and happy movie.
