Becky and I took the kids to see UP on Sunday at the Kerasotes theaters in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango
The Replacement Killers the movie website at UP describes the movie as follows:
“Carl Fredricksen, a 78-year-old balloon salesman, finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. From the Academy Award®-nominated director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.), Disney•Pixar’s “Up” invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth. “Up” will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D in select theaters…”
The Review
UP is the latest and greatest Disney and Pixar cartoon that is a great story about an old man, a life he thought he never lived and a young boy. They go on this amazing adventure and discover a great deal about their lives and one another.
The story is really fun and parts of it are touching with plenty of action and excitement. However, many of the smaller kids in the audience were bored out of their heads, so be forewarned that it’s probably for kids in Elementary school to keep their interest.
We all really enjoyed UP and thought it was a great film with a very good message and plenty of fun for the entire family. I really liked the way the story deals with getting old and not losing site of the important things in life, especially people. There is a pretty funny “short” film at the beginning about a stork and a thunder cloud, so you’ll want to get there early enough to see it at the beginning.
