Pixar's tenth is Up
Photo: Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar Up marks Pixar's tenth feature length animated film and I would say it is their most mature feature to date. While there are plenty of fun and goofy moments, similar to those that have made their films audience favorites since Toy Story in 1995, Up takes on more adult themes. Dealing with the loss of a loved one serves as the film's guiding light beginning with an opening 15 minutes that had several of the female audience members in my screening tearing up right out of the gates, but don't take this to assume Up is a downer of any sort. This film is an uplifting celebration of the human spirit and Pixar has once again managed to create characters the audience can easily connect with and instantly care for. While it didn't have me falling head-over-heels as I did for Wall-e last year,

Up
Directed by: Pete Docter
Cast: (Voices) Ed Asner, Jordan Nagai, Christopher Plummer
Running Time: 1 hr 35 mins
Rating: PG
Release Date: May 29, 2009
Plot: Carl Fredricksen (Asner), a widower about to lose his home to developers, comes up with a scheme to escape his problems. He attaches thousands of balloons to his house and flies away for South America. But he doesn’t expect a tagalong in the form of a Wilderness Scout named Russell (Nagai).
Who’s It For? Anyone. Pixar’s created another funny story that should appeal to adults and children. Like Ratatouille, there are moments that are more mature, but nothing inappropriate for kids. Young children might get a little frightened at times, but should be ok.
Expectations: The previews didn’t look terribly exciting, but I’ve really enjoyed every Pixar film since A Bug’s Life so I still wanted to see it.

There’s a sly mood turn, early in Up, that foreshadows nicely why this film is quirky and different from the herd. Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), our curmudgeon old blockhead, is trying to stop a construction worker from touching his sentimental mailbox. They go into a tug-of-war over the mailbox, which looks silly to us, but agitates Carl. So he whacks the guy on the head with his walker. Bonk. The guy falls on his tush, holding his head. We laugh. Then, as if revealing a plot twist, he moves his hand and we see that he’s bleeding quite heavily. Other concerned characters tend to his injury. Carl, clutching his mailbox tight, panics and runs into his house. We stop laughing.
We’re so used to cartoons having no consequences that an action so simple could be used so provocatively. Up doesn’t pretend to be realistic, but it
