About this movie

Winner of two Academy Awards®, including Best Animated Freature. Carl Fredrickson, a retired balloon salesman, is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an overeager 8-year old Wildnerness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time -- Carl's front porch! The world's most unlikely duo reach new heights and meets fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life's biggest adventures aren't the ones you set out for.

Pixar has never failed to take an outlandish idea and turn it into something the whole family can enjoy. This movie was relatable to all ages. However i felt that the second half of the movie kept me wanting more after the wonderful beginning.overall great movie, very cute.

Up is by far one of the most emotionally toiling Pixar films, so much so that even people who do not cry at movies may find themselves clearing something from their eye. When the film was first announced, I was skeptical that such a concept could be entertaining: an old man flying a house to South America and discovering an endangered and elusive bird. Yawn. But when I saw it, I realized that pretty much no description could do this movie justice. You just have to see it.
