Up (2009, Movie)

Pixar Perfect: 'Up' Provides Quite a Lift

Synopsis


'Up' is the latest work from the Disney/Pixar stable about an old man who attaches balloons to the roof of his house so it lifts into the sky.

The story climates as Carl Fredricksen ties a thousand balloons to his home and floats off, house and all, to South America to find the waterfalls which he and his wife always dreamed of visiting.

As rich a sensory experience as "Up" is, it finally comes down to the story it has to tell. And that story -- about loneliness, vulnerability and the redemptive power of human connection -- not only makes for a magnificently crafted and absorbing movie, but a deeply meaningful one.

And yes, it's 3D!
