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

Pixar has a pretty good track record if you ask me. Of their releases there is only one that I cannot stand (`Cars') but there are quite a few I consider absolutely wonderful (`Ratatouille', `The Incredibles') and one that I consider a near masterpiece (`Finding Nemo'). In my personal opinion, `Up' is the best thing they have ever done. It is, quite frankly, a modern masterpiece in animated filmmaking.
Seriously.
The plot is pretty simple on the outset. Carl Fredricksen ... Read More

I bought the UP Blu-ray 4 disc version just so I could have the SD DVD with English subtitles. I had the NetFlix version of UP and it had no subtitles or closed captioning. Neither version plays on my computer and both versions are programmed to start with coming attractions. The copy protection on these Disney DVDs is similar to the Sony DVD copy protection on many of its DVD releases at the start of 2007, movies like Casino Royale and The Pursuit of Happyness. Then, Sony admitted that about 25 ... Read More

Another commendable, 4-star outing from Pixar.
The DVD packaging is another matter. There have been many complaints about the computer-incompatibility, but my gripe is about the "pecking order" for those that want the single-disc DVD vs. the 4-disc Blu-ray and everything in-between.
Time was when you bought a 2-disc set of a Pixar film, you got hours worth of neat, entertaining and enlightening extras (example: the exhaustive Super Heroes guide with "The Incredibles"). By the time "Cars" ... Read More

I love the animation of this movie, it totally rocks, BUT the movie itself is pretty pointless. There's also a few gray areas:
Where was Rusell's mom during all of this?
What happened to his dad?
How did the "bad guy" get to Paraside Falls?
It left a few question marks that were never answered. Also, I think it may be a little too wild for kids. There are gun shots, violence, a small blood scene ( th old man knocks somone with his cane and the man is left bleeding), ... Read More

"Up" is a great movie, I highly recommend it, but wait for a better DVD Treatment.
Allow lots and lots and lots of time to get the movie started.
The DVD doesn't even play on some players, thanks to some DRM (Digital Restriction Mess-Up).
UOPs (User Operation Prohibition) are enabled on this DVD meaning that you cannot skip over many parts of the DVD and are FORCED to watch things you have no interest in.
While it is easy to purchse a DVD player that ... Read More
