Editorial Review
Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Excellent family viewing, 2010-03-14
This is a brilliant film for young and old alike. As a grandad I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline along with my grandchildren. It is a pity that there are too few family movies around. Well done Disney! The accompanying disc that showed how the story was conceived and developed, I found added to the enjoyment of the film. This animation taps into real life relationships and shows how they can be lastingly rewarding. It reached my emotions and that cannot be a bad thing. Granpa Phil.

WOW! Within the first 10 mins so many of our family aged 5 to 66 were on the edge of tears - stunned into silence. My husband turned to me with moistened eyes and kissed me and held me!! Such a tender, funny, soul seraching story and superbly characterised. How could you not love the little boy scout? Our son and his wife are into the final round of IVF, my dad had just died and it hit home. Thank you

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 A modern animated classic, 2010-03-12
This is one of the best animated movies I have seen in a long time. It has a compelling story, an excellent lead character and it looks stunning. The length of 'Up' is just about right at just over 90 minutes and it doesn't overdo sickly sentiment. OK, the story is sentimental but it certainly isn't sacchirine sweet and it is actually quite adult at times as it deals with death and there are a couple of scenes where blood is in evidence.

The opening ten minutes or so sets the scene beautifully. It is very well done and tells the story of Carl and Ellie's lives in a touching and very effective way and it paves the way perfectly for what is to follow. The voice acting is good across the board with Ed Asner in particular doing a great job as Carl. As stated earlier, the movie looks fantastic with stunning scenery and incredible lighting. South America is captured wonderfully well and the sight of a house being carried by balloons never fails to impress. If I do have one niggle, I did find the talking dogs a bit odd but at least this wasn't overdone. I sometimes think that CGI animation has been done to death but when it is as well made as this it still has a very bright future.

'Up' is a modern day classic of animation and is right up there with Finding Nemo (2 Disc Collector's Edition) [2003] [DVD], Toy Story/Toy Story 2 [DVD] and A Bug's Life [DVD] [1999]. It shows that an animated movie can be just as rewarding and moving as any live action film and this fully deserves the many awards it has recieved.
