pixar's up, up and away!

This afternoon I saw UP with my brother. I went in not knowing really what it was about and enjoyed it a lot. Amazing animation, wonderful characters, and brilliant storytelling. I found it different from previous Pixar films (sort of like Wall*E -- a bit melancholy and dark for a kids film. My heartstrings were tugged on a lot. Several hours after seeing UP I'm still thinking about it: how wonderful dreaming can be, yet perhaps we have to let those dreams go, not let them sidetrack us from the path God has in mind for us. And when we let dreams consume us, nothing else matters, they can destroy us, turning us into people who will do anything to fulfill that dream...

Great, great movie.

I'm really looking forward to taking my two 6 year olds to see this. I've heard it's really great. I actually liked Wall-E, but I agree it was somewhat dark. I liked the little robot, but the overall story was just eh. Looking forward to UP! :)

I think you will really enjoy UP. :) To my surprise I completely fell for Wall*E: little robot, story, and all.

Squee! Your icon is totally adorable!

I loved UP! It was so cute but also very sad. I cried, but I really love it. It's in my top three pixar movies now with Wall-E and Finding Nemo.

Yes, UP was very sad! It tugged on my heartstrings. Wow, your top three Pixar films almost match mine: Wall*E, Monsters INC., and UP and Finding Nemo tied for third. :)

You're so lucky for being able to see this already! It's not out here until October ¬_¬ I'm glad you enjoyed it, though! It looks awesome.
