Up

Up... Another one of Pixar's hits, it was getting great reviews and, even though I've had it sitting here from Netflix for over a month, I really wanted to see it and finally did.  In the style of Wall*E, there were times where so much was said without words.  Filled with lovable characters, it was really entertaining to watch, filled with all kinds of messages and pulled at your heart-strings.  Cartoon movies these days aren't really made for kids any more... which was slightly evident in some of the innocent violence in the movie, but it wasn't overpowering... although a few deaths were even a little unsettling to me. 

About an adventurous boy, he runs into an adventurous girl and then get married, and life (and more and more of it) keep them from reaching their goal of traveling to Paradise Falls in South America.  Living in the house that they used to play in, when he's an old man and they want to buy out his house and tear it down, he fights them until the end, finally tying balloons to his house and flying it to Paradise Falls, albeit a long journey and adverture beforehand.  The lesson:  live life to the fullest... do what you want before it's too late.... and having GPS and chocolate in your backpack is a must.

Highly recommend it... 4 balloons out of 5.
