The Movie Itself:
When I first watched this movie in theaters, I was thrilled. It was a movie meant for everyone. The novelistic first quarter, with Carl Fredericksen & the love of his life, Ellie, their fantasized story made us adults cry. The next two quarters were intriguing and kept pace with adults and kids like, made us laugh in way only Pixar can, and set us up for an ending that was perhaps most suited for kids but was satisfying for all generations. Pixar has a track record that is unparalleled by any other studio. With "Up" they have proven to us once again that there is more left in their tank to surprise us with.

The Video:
Pixar Home Videos are reference quality discs and this one is also perfect. The MPEG4 AVC 1080p transfer in 1.78:1 aspect ratio is breathtaking. Colours are spectacular, flesh tones are natural, blacks and whites are vibrant, the motion and detail is extraordinary and leaps out of the screen. Okay I have run out of words so I hope you all get the idea.

The Audio:
As impressive as the video is the DTS HDMA 5.1 track. You can actually feel the atmosphere through the speakers. The control of the channels is perhaps the best I can recall in recent memory. Heck I could even feel the wind blowing through the house when its lifted up in the air. The balloons rubbing against each other and the briefest of sounds were clear. It really is a treat and its one of those few times when my surround sound investment seems to be worthwhile.

Final Words:
Up has it all, its perhaps the best release of the year if considered as package. Its presentation is second to none and its a movie that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages including some of us who think they are too old for everything. I hope everyone picks it up and enjoys it for years to come. Highly Recommended.

Beautiful love story. Lovingly told with love and humour. Highly recommended. I predict this will be a classic for all time.

I loved it the first time I saw it - and I still love it. I got it because it is grandchild friendly and we can all enjoy it when they come over.

Is all I hear when my daughter watches the show. She likes hyper dogs and the big colorful bird.
Thanks a lot :)

Heart warmer to the 10th degree!
It is totally a tear jerker and makes your heart warm and fuzzy to the end!

The movie came in a timely fashion, the disc was in good shape, so no skipping or anything and the movie is of course, great!

Ce film m'a ému tout en me faisant rire (écureuil!). Les dessins sont magnifiques et l'aventure de la vie est raconté dans une histoire charmante.

Cute movie, it was new therefore in perfect shape. Can't say anything else about it. Find these ratings on new, unused movies annoying.

Pixar has done it again. They manage to make a movie that is fun for kids and entertaining for adults. Up is a lovely movie about seizing the day and appreciating the moments you have, rather than missing out on life because you're always looking ahead.

It is easy to see , in real life, the pressures that make one wish to fly away. Taking the house along with you is rarely an option, but in the world of animation it seems possible. This is the sort of movie that can be watched over and over.
