Movie Title: Up Up is available for streaming or downloading. |
Here’s a movie for dog lovers, the elderly, children of divorce, FOBs (Friends of Birds), broken-down 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 wail.

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 shrinking young boy star-struck by a celebrated explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become lickety-split friends, and screech to one day recede to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they engage their dream home and fix it up, hoping to have it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through worn age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a cheerful marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s afflict when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers discontinuance in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and proceed to Paradise Falls. A used balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of sparkling balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a pudgy, bold kid trying to regain a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the faded man and the exiguous boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a great 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 terminate 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 shadowy 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 handsome 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 unique world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, fleshy of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Obtain another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to produce an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster absorbing movie. But in the meantime, they’re unexcited putting out enjoyable captivating movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety archaic man. It’s a charming, fun shrimp adventure myth with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet miniature chronicle about loss and like.
As a child, the troubled Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared fancy of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, travel 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 actual 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 jog. Terrible kid was objective trying to net an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle rush to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a sizable emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (”I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious extinct man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the musty guy is very familiar to Carl — and to remove Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as approved as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty ragged 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 dull 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 expose all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing used together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy arrive to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of spacious dialogue (”Do you want to play a game? It’s called Glance Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Cold! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an musty airship.
Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and clear 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 definite to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special witness. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (”I hid under your porch because I admire 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 secure shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of unusual 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 tantalizing shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to verbalize potentially despicable 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 inspiring, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can be pleased. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
