Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), a 78-year-old balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness. But curmudgeonly Carl's worst nightmare comes true when he discovers a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard the balloon-powered house.

This was a cute movie; however, it was kind of sad for a kids movie. It was quite different and had some cute and funny parts in it.

Loved it!

Much like everyone else so far, I loved this movie. Incredibly well done, and it's nice to see a little change in direction from Pixar. All of their films are nostalgia trips to some extent, but this is from a different and appreciated angle.

A movie with a heartwarming story peppered with close-share situations and funny moments. The 3D technology has improved tremendously since 20 years ago. There is no foul language or sexual innuendos. A good wholesome movie for families.

Did you have dreams as a kid? Haven't done them yet?

Be prepared to spend half an hour bawling your eyes out.

The first chunk of this movie was the most incredibly bittersweet thing I've ever seen in a cartoon. It was beautiful, expertly and succinctly developing Carl's character into a man you can sympathize with and care about. Which makes it funnier when you realize how deeply rooted his mission is in his psyche - and how frustrated he must be to be continually sidetracked from his quest.

When you get down to it, this is a movie about fulfilling your dreams. Carl's journey is central to the plot, but so is that of his Hero - a long lost adventurer whose dreams have turned into Ahabesque madness. Caught in the middle is Russell, whose only desire is to have a father figure who will bother to show up for him.

Anyway, I felt all the characters were enjoyable in their own way, and I definitely will be watching this film again. Pixar once again has made an incredible movie.

p.s. Whoever was in charge of canine body language & dialogue hit it right on the (wet) nose. The dogs are one of the best parts of an already amazing movie.

Great story

I loved watching Up! The story was funny, emotional, and even inspirational. I didn't notice a lot of 3-D action, but I liked the characters and the story anyway!

The movie was so touching, in some parts of the movie I was actually tearing up :'(. The beginning section of the movie has barely any dialog and yet there was a big story behind it that was understood through the actions of each character. I'm was impressed!
