Product Description
UP IS A COMEDY ADVENTURE ABOUT 78-YEAR-OLD BALLOON SALESMAN CARL FREDRICKSEN, WHO FINALLY FULFILLS HIS LIFELONG DREAM OF A GREAT ADVENTURE WHEN HE TIES THOUSANDS OF BALLOONS TO HIS HOUSE AND FLIES AWAY TO THE WILDS OF SOUTH AMERICA.
At a time when too many animated films consist of anthropomorphized animals cracking sitcom one-liners and flatulence jokes, the warmth, originality, humor, and unflagging imagination of Up feel as welcome as rain in a desert. Carl Fredericksen (voice by Ed Asner) ranks among the most unlikely heroes in recent animation history. A 78- year-old curmudgeon, he enjoyed his modest life as a balloon seller because he shared it with his adventurous wife Ellie (Ellie Docter). But she died, leaving him with memories and the awareness that they never made their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America. When well-meaning officials consign Carl to Shady Oaks Retirement Home, he rigs thousands of helium balloons to his house and floats to South America. The journey's scarcely begun when he discovers a stowaway: Russell (Jordan Nagai), a chubby, maladroit Wilderness Explorer Scout who's out to earn his Elderly Assistance Badge. In the tropical jungle, Carl and Russell find more than they bargained for: Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer), a crazed explorer whose newsreels once inspired Carl and Ellie; Kevin, an exotic bird with a weakness for chocolate; and Dug (Bob Peterson), an endearingly dim golden retriever fitted with a voice box. More importantly, the travelers discover they need each other: Russell needs a (grand)father figure; Carl needs someone to enliven his life without Ellie. Together, they learn that sharing ice-cream cones and counting the passing cars can be more meaningful than feats of daring-do and distant horizons. Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc. ) and Bob Peterson direct the film with consummate skill and taste, allowing the poignant moments to unfold without dialogue to Michael Giacchnio's vibrant score. Building on their work in The Incredibles and Ratatouille, the Pixar crew offers nuanced animation of the stylized characters. Even by Pixar's elevated standards, Up is an exceptional film that will appeal of audiences of all ages. Rated PG for some peril and action. --Charles Solomon

The DVD was mostly a very fine picture but half way thru the movie it hesitated several times. I grew concerned but it did clear up after the mid point glitches.

 Not the same special features as the blu ray March 9, 2010

I was very disappointed to learn that there were more behind the scenes featurettes on my friends blu ray version of this movie that we watched on her laptop than on this version I bought. As someone who loves this sort of extra feature but is not a technology snob, I felt cheated. I don't want to be forced into buying a blu ray player just to get all the special features.
Not entirely a kids' movie... March 8, 2010

Whoever feels that this is a children's movie is mistaken. Subjects in the movie, like a husband and wife losing their baby during a pregnancy and the wife later dying, are far from what I would call kids' movie material. My 11 year old is still crying. Sorry I got it.
 The Movie, "Up," Isn't Bugs Bunny March 7, 2010

Commercials can be very deceiving. In the case of "Up," this is absolutely true, as the previews only show a few sight gags that would be funny and entertaining to young children. That's where fantasy ends and the serious theme of this movie begins. IMHO, "Up" IS NOT for children under 10 -12, as it deals with the human cycle of life, including aging, and the eventual sadness involving the death of one of the spouses, and lingering depression.
This is not Bugs Bunny, where a character is hurt, maimed or killed, only to revive in the next scene. In other words, I would classify "Up" as almost a dark drama, especially if viewed through the eyes and limited experience of a very young child.
This is a VERY good movie, despite being a cartoon, for tweens through seniors. I would even venture that it borders on being a "chick flick" because of its emotional aspects, yet should be just as appealing to most males.
Finally, I would say, don't rent/buy/borrow this if you are looking for a cartoon with non-stop laughter, you will be totally disappointed. Choose Bugs, Wylie, Taz, or other cartoon features instead.
