High flying animated comedy adventure from Pixar Studios. 70-something retired balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Edward Asner) decides to use his twilight years to fulfil his lifelong dream of travelling through the wilds of South America. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he lifts off for his big adventure - only to discover that he has inadvertently brought a stowaway along with him in the form of Russell (Jordan Nagai), an eight-year-old wilderness explorer who is desperate to earn his 'Helping the Elderly' merit badge. The film won awards for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Music at both the 2010 BAFTAs and the Academy Awards.

Moving and funny
Carl as a lad meets Ellie, who persuades the cautious Carl to live life. They marry and are happy, but sadly Ellie dies. Carl had always wanted to visit Angel Falls in Venezuela - he is driven out of his home town by property developers, but gets the assistance of Russell, a boy scout who ends up on the doorstep when Carl floats the house away hanging from huge numbers of balloons. Together they explore the plateau where the Falls are situated, and foil the ruthless hunter who seeks to ensnare the last of the rare birds found there. The sad start is justified, but the film is warm and upbeat, ending on a very happy note and it's the best cartoon I've seen for a long while.

My Date Night with an Animated Balloon and a Bunch of Emotions! A Love Story Soar-iously Hilarious!
Introduction:So, I thought I was buying a movie, but little did I know, I was purchasing a one-way ticket to the most emotionally turbulent and laugh-inducing journey ever. "Up," or as I like to call it, "My Balloon Date Gone Wild!"Unboxing and First Impressions:The Blu-ray case looked so innocent, like it was saying, "Hey, this is just a cute animation!" Little did I know, it was preparing to unleash a hilarious rollercoaster of feelings that would make even my therapist reconsider her career.Features and Specifications:This Blu-ray isn't just a movie; it's a masterclass in emotional manipulation! 3D animation, heartfelt storytelling, and a lesson in navigating life's absurdities—it's got it all. Even my toaster doesn't toast with such depth!How to Use:Instructions: Pop it in and press play. But let me tell you, it's not just a movie night; it's a journey.

My attempt to impress turned into a balloon-popping fiasco. On the bright side, my date now thinks I'm a balloon animal artist.Family time! Decided to watch it with my parents. They laughed, they cried, and then, they asked if I'd ever find a love as strong as the old man and the boy scout. Thanks, "Up," for setting unrealistic relationship goals.Workplace disaster! Shared it at the office to lift spirits. Turns out, a room full of adults crying over animated dogs isn't the best morale booster.

Very entertaining and well worth buying.
Vastly entertaining for all ages with a moral behind it. Bought this after our son and grandson told us about it. So pleased that I did. A sad but funny story. Well worth buying.
