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 scream.

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 fearful young boy star-struck by a famed explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become lickety-split friends, and philosophize to one day disappear to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they assume their dream home and fix it up, hoping to believe it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through feeble age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a blissful 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 stop in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and disappear to Paradise Falls. A obsolete balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of lustrous balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a rotund, courageous kid trying to pick up a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the passe man and the exiguous boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a stout 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 end 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 sunless 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 gorgeous 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 original world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, stout of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Collect another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to earn an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster spicy movie. But in the meantime, they’re unruffled putting out scrumptious bewitching movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety conventional man. It’s a charming, fun minute adventure sage with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet tiny yarn about loss and care for.
As a child, the troubled Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared care for of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, recede 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 keen, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the traipse. Dreadful kid was impartial trying to collect an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle bolt to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a tremendous emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (”I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious ancient man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the ancient guy is very familiar to Carl — and to recall 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 feeble 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 like Carl’s treasure for his lost wife, and his tiresome 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 point to all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing traditional together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy near to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of expansive dialogue (”Do you want to play a game? It’s called Peruse Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Wintry! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an conventional 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 peek. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (”I hid under your porch because I fancy 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 net shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of unique 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 enchanting shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to drawl 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 spellbinding, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can luxuriate in. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
