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.
Amazon.com
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

 Yet another glowing review March 10, 2010
Jordan Olling (San Francisco Bay Area)
I loved this film in every way. I loved the music, the visuals, the 3D when I saw it in theaters, and the story, among other things. I'm a big Pixar fan, but I'm only really writing this review because Amazon seems to want me to. You should definitely buy this DVD. It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature (a bit of a mistake to be in both, in some ways), best Sound Editing, and Best Musical Score.
Excellant family entertainment! March 10, 2010

This is my favorite film of the year. And beyond. I laughed a lot! And I did cry. I watched this movie with my pre-teen niece and nephew, my forty something sister, my thirty something girlfriend and I'm buying it for my grandmother's birthday. It has something special for everyone.

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.
