Pixar animation studios have given us some of the most incredible and stunning films that we’ve all seen and loved over time. Although it does suffer from a non-clever or witty title, Up is nothing short of visually stunning, skillfully rendered film that packs more than few laughs and giggles. The characters make us laugh, cry, and cheer while the film proves itself yet again why Pixar animation has transcended animation films into a new genre where it is so (and I really mean it) much better than many Hollywood films out today. The film is essentially about Carl, a timid and quiet elderly that has recently lost his wife, Ellie. He is also facing expulsion from his home to a retirement home. As all seems to be lost, Carl decides to take “Ellie” (he lovingly calls his wife and his house the same name) on a journey that he has promised the day he fell in love with her. Using his skills as a balloon salesman, he literally “ups” the house into air by using millions of balloons, to reach Paradise Falls. Along the way, a Wilderness Explorers Scout Russell, joins Carl, unwillingly to Carl and himself. And yes you guess again, hilarity and humanity ensue. 
What works so effectively and effortlessly in the film is its strength
to use emotions with perfect images. (SPOILER ALERT) in the sequence
where it explains Carl and Ellie’s relationship, I almost cried. It
truly is gut-wrenchingly and masterfully done. With minimal music and
set of images, the director Pete Docter creates a world where we truly
believe the characters on screen to be real. The spectacular visual of
colors and animation also play huge parts in enjoying this film. Every
color is live and vivid while never deteriorating from its story. Voice
actors are wonderful as well and especially Jordan Nagai, who voices
our favorite chunky explorer Russell. His boyish charm and joy are
scene stealers. So please, do yourself a favor this weekend or whenever. Grab
someone (friend, girlfriend, parent, etc) and go watch Up. You’ll leave
the theater feeling “UP”pity. I promise.
