Carl Fredricksen is part rascal, part dreamer, and ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. With an overeager Wilderness Explorer named Russell and Dug, a dog who can speak, as companions, Carl realises that sometimes life’s biggest adventures aren’t the ones you set out looking for. (Disney / Buena Vista)

When I get bored of Pixar movies, you better shoot me as a precaution - I probably won't be okay, and who knows, it might even be contagious! Up is a near-perfect thing - near-perfect because I was missing two little things in it. Firstly, a scene, even a very short one, in which you could see how Carl prepared all those balloons, inflated them and so on, and then the building of the tent. Otherwise, it amounts to great satisfaction. The senior walker vs. sword fight brought me to tears :-) ()
When you get the meanness of the old grandpa, the cuteness of the little boy, and the charming Kevin into the movie, it's something to watch! Plus, the atmosphere was soooo awesome in the theater, where I was probably the oldest one there. It was only at the beginning of the second half of the movie that the kids started suspiciously excusing themselves to the toilet... there were a few minutes of boredom. ()
Not only proof that it is never too late for an adventure, but also confirmation that in the right hands of a director and animator, a pearl can be made even from an unusual combination of several favorite clichés. Until now, I am amazed that a drama about unfulfilled dreams does not contradict the adventurous spectacle, but perfectly adds a deeper dimension to it. ()
Gran Torino meets Indy in escapades à la Pixar. Some parts are great, but altogether it seems so inconsistent that it’s bothering. However, Carl is a really nice guy and his only blemish is that he’s not dubbed by Clint. The real “hero" and the dog do their CGI best to make this movie work. And they had to try hard, because this movie was moving alarmingly near to the shameful average (quite normal for Pixar). ()
The puppet masters (3D) prove why it is such a success for all audience ranges. For the first time, however, I feel like they’re being overly confident. There’s no willingness to take risks or deviate in any way from the popular trend. Life’s truths caress, while the overly mentoring tone grates on the nerves. I wasn't bored, but I didn't enjoy it, and that's worse. ()
