Here’s a movie for dog lovers, the elderly, children of divorce, FOBs (Friends of Birds), ragged Boy Scouts, people yearning for adventure, and anyone who has ever loved… and lost. Up is for everyone. It made me laugh out loud, and it made me sob.

I plan it would be tough for Up to match the emotional power of Wall-E. The two Pixar films are similar in their lack of dialogue in the first act, which helps deepen the emotional impact. Up begins with Carl, a frightened young boy star-struck by a eminent explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become quick friends, and suppose to one day depart to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they bewitch their dream home and fix it up, hoping to hold it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through weak age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a overjoyed marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s distress when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers terminate in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and depart to Paradise Falls. A old balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of gleaming balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a fat, valorous kid trying to get a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the venerable man and the microscopic boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a big rare bird that bonds with Russell (he names her “Kevin”) . Dug is priceless: spot-on for every dog that ever lived, including an obsession with squirrels. Through a series of halt calls and adventures, the quartet vanquishes a villain, saving the day. And Russell earns his scouting badge.
In the process, Carl learns to let go of his murky mourning for Ellie, and live life again. When this happens, a truly magical thing happens. Before, Carl’s craggy face is gray and monochromatic. At the moment of his transformation, Carl’s face is awash in color, and he is surrounded by dazzling hues. It reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy steps out of her gray world and into a candy-colored Munchkinland. Carl, too, enters a whole recent world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, fleshy of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Rep another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to execute an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster challenging movie. But in the meantime, they’re collected putting out appetizing enchanting movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety customary man. It’s a charming, fun microscopic adventure fable with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet exiguous chronicle about loss and treasure.
As a child, the horrified Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared appreciate of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, go into their “clubhouse” together, and lived a long, sadly childless life together. When Ellie died, she had never fulfilled her dream of going to Paradise Falls.
Now crotchety, alone and harassed by a exact estate developer, Carl (Ed Asner) is finally ordered to a retirement home. But he isn’t going quietly — instead he attaches thousands of balloons to his house and floats it away toward South America. But he accidentally takes an eager, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the plod. Awful kid was honest trying to get an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle walk to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a mammoth emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (”I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious frail man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the broken-down guy is very familiar to Carl — and to recall Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as accepted as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty extinct coot. Well, shows what they know. It ended up becoming one of those classic movies that somehow appeals to all ages — while the humor and action appeal to children, adults can relish Carl’s like for his lost wife, and his lifeless realization that he’s clinging to the past.
In fact, the first ten minutes are some of the most heart-tugging, quietly bittersweet scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Without a word, they present all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing ragged together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy approach to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of stout dialogue (”Do you want to play a game? It’s called Gawk Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Cold! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an former airship.
Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and obvious to fulfill his wife’s lifelong dream, but gradually realizing he’s clinging to the past. Nagai is equally perfect as Carl’s polar opposite: a naive, chattery Scout who is obvious to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special peer. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (”I hid under your porch because I cherish you”) and act the intention dogs would if they talked. Three words: cone of shame.
The two-disc edition is going to have some very nice extras, but once again people with regular-def DVDs are going to find shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of weird stuff. Grr. As for this one, there’s a digital copy, the director’s audio commentary, kinda-alternate-ending “The Many Endings of Muntz,” and the documentary “Adventure Is Out There” about the research for this movie.
There are also a pair of adorable arresting shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to deny potentially depraved baby creatures from a kind but clueless cloud. And “Dug’s Special Mission” is a sort of backstory for the adorable Dug, explaining what the heck he was doing before he met up with Carl and Russell.
“Up” continues Pixar’s running tally of gloriously sharp, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can bask in. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
