UP the Movie

I really liked this movie very much!

• The story of love between the couple was very sweet and heart-warming!

• The cartons were so well-drawn with so much detail! Love the dialogue-less montage which showed the couple’s relationship evolving and the ending showing Carl having a new adventure in the next phase of his life. You can read more about that segment here.
• The beautiful multi-coloured ballons! Don’t you just feel happier looking at them?

• The main lead is a grumpy old man but he’s so likeable too!

• The very cute and chubby Russell! Reminds me of Henry! Hee!

• Lots of thrilling action too, even heart-stopping moments!
• All in all, a really entertaining and emotionally moving cartoon! I teared and laughed and had a good time!

The director Pete Doctor had this to say about the movie “Basically, the message of the film is that the real adventure of life is the relationship we have with other people, and it's so easy to lose sight of the things we have and the people that are around us until they're gone. More often than not I don't really realize how lucky I was to have known someone until they're either moved or passed away. So if you can kind of wake up a little bit and go, "Wow, I've got some really cool stuff around me every day", then that's what the movie's about.”

You gotta catch it!
