I tell you, it is hands down, thumbs-up GOOD! Everything that has been said about Up is right-smack on the money...and even more! I don't want to give anything away for there may still be some who have yet to watch the film (WHAT?!), but it IS really worth watching. After having watched Wall-E last year, I thought, then, that Disney and Pixar will never be able to come up with a better movie, ever. Boy, was I mistaken! Remember how it was watching Wall-E...getting carried away by the scenes even when there was not a single dialogue heard for about halfway through the film? It was the same with Up! There was silence, yet there was a smooth blending of comedy, drama, adventure, action & suspense. You'll find yourself getting amused, starting to laugh, feeling a little "tug" at your heart, getting teary-eyed, maybe you start crying a little (I know I did!), then you begin laughing again, getting amazed, thinking, holding your breath, getting a little worried...that's how it was for me.

I wish I could view the world and everything in it as black and white, or as uncomplicated as Russel (the cute little Asian boy in the film) sees them. Or as loyal and dedicated as Doug (the trained and talking...yes, talking!...dog) is to his master. Or as sweet and as thoughtful as Carl Fredrickson (the film's main character and my main man!) is to those who need him, yet as hip and adventurous as he even in his old years.
