Description

A feisty septuagenarian teams with a fearless wilderness ranger to do battle with a vicious band of beasts and villains in this computer-animated adventure scripted by Pixar veteran Bob Peterson and co-directed by Peterson and MONSTERS, INC. director Peter Docter. Carl Fredricksen is a 78-year-old balloon salesman. His entire life, Carl has longed to wander the wilds of South America. Then, one day, the irascible senior citizen shocks his neighbours by tying thousands of balloons to his home and finally taking flight. But Carl isn't alone on his once-in-a-lifetime journey, because stowed away on his front porch is an excitable eight-year-old wilderness explorer named Russell. Later, as the house touches down on the world's second largest continent, Carl and his unlikely travelling companion step outside to discover that not only is their new front lawn considerably larger, but that the predators therein are much more ferocious than anything they ever faced back home.

      Comments about Up:

      Up is one of the best movies that came out in 2009. It is moving and exciting, wondrous and funny. The story follows an old man finally fulfilling his dream of going to South America to have an adventure by making his house float with helium balloons. A young boy scout gets caught up in his adventure too. Up is for all ages, not just for children.

        Comments about Up:

        I took my children to the movie when it was first released. They and myself really enjoyed it . When Up became available on DVD I bought it for my children ( 5yrs and 8yrs ) for Christmas . It has been played so many times since , with my kids friends coming over to have a movie night , all loved it .

        Comments about Up:

        As i said before this is a must have for all Pixar fans, Pixar keep exceeding their previous offering. One of the best movies of all time and rightly deserves an Oscar Nomination. Up is for all ages.
        Like all Pixar movies, the dvd editions are all loaded with special features which would include games and movie shorts.
