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 weep.

I view 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 shocked young boy star-struck by a well-known explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become posthaste friends, and say to one day recede to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they steal their dream home and fix it up, hoping to possess it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through former age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a joyful marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s distress when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers halt in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and fade to Paradise Falls. A frail balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of brilliant balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a chubby, gallant kid trying to obtain a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the former man and the small boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a vast 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 shaded 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 novel world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, corpulent of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Fetch another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to invent an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster racy movie. But in the meantime, they’re tranquil putting out scrumptious spellbinding movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety former man. It’s a charming, fun cramped adventure fable with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet dinky epic about loss and cherish.
As a child, the disturbed Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared cherish of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, depart 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 valid 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 alive to, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the bolt. Awful kid was honest trying to acquire an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle straggle to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a gigantic emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (“I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious obsolete man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the passe guy is very familiar to Carl — and to grasp Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as well-liked as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty old-fashioned 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 delight in Carl’s esteem for his lost wife, and his unimaginative 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 display all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing conventional together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy advance to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of sizable dialogue (“Do you want to play a game? It’s called Study 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 obvious 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 distinct to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special contemplate. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (“I hid under your porch because I like you”) and act the arrangement 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 regain shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of peculiar 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 fascinating shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to recount potentially detestable 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 lively, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can delight in. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
