Up [2009]

 

Up is a 3D animation movie directed by Pete Docter. Its a story of a young boy Carl Fredrickson who meets an adventurous girl named Ellie one day. Both idolizes the adventurer Charles Munts which is the key thing common in them to start on their friendship. They both fall in love with each other and marry themselves. Ellie always had a dream to build a house on the Paradise Falls, a lost land in South America. The story takes a leap and 70 years later, Ellie is no more and Carl lives on his own with the sweet memories. He's forced to move in a retirement home when he hits a construction worker. On the same day an 8 year boy named Russel arrives on his doorsteps who is seeking to get a badge for assisting an elderly person. Before they can take Carl to the retirement home, he makes the house fly with him with the help of several balloons tied to the house. Soon he finds that the boy Russel is also there. Together they start on their adventure on a journey to Paradise Falls and what happens next is what the rest movie is all about.

This movie by Pixar is one of its best work till date. the movie is a whole package of adventure, emotions and drama. The movie is directed very well. The background score is good. With a running time of 96 min it makes you stick till the end. A movie not meant just for kids, can be viewed easily by all age groups. Its funny and hilarious and at times it makes you emotional too. The feelings of the person is justified in Carl throughout and at the same time you can feel the essence of innocence in the kid Russel. For me the movie works great. A must watch for all.

My Rating - 9 on 10
