UP Movie Review

Sherie and I decided to go watch a movie...really had a good laugh again in the cinema. This time, it was the movie 'Up'. I really like all the Pixar Studio animation movies. I remember watching 'The Incredibles' and also Wall-E, but on DVD la...It's really nice and had good graphics and moral values in it.

As always, like all Pixar movies, we enjoyed the appetizer before the main course. This short movie is very very funny. I think I laughed the loudest, coz I remember hearing ONLY my laughter...It's a little bit like Dumbo, like how the baby animals are being delivered by storks...This is about clouds making babies and the storks delivering the babies to their mothers(both human and animals).And we have this particular cloud which was eccentric in making not-so-loving babies and the poor stork that needs to deliver it. You will have a good laugh there. And a moral lesson to it too. Here's a very very short clip I found on Youtube. You can also view the entire short movie at this link

Anyway, Up is about Carl Fredrickson, from young, having the adventurous mind exploring the world and then met Ellie. The first quarter of the movie was good in character development of Carl and Ellie. Their true love only death can set them apart. Loving and touching. The fun part began when Russell(he's so so adorable) joined Carl in his adventure and the bumped into a giant bird name Kevin and the talking dog name Dug. And more laughter to come.. with the chipmunk voice of a bad dog. Both of us(or should I say I) were laughing so hard in the cinema!

Carl was working so hard to achieve Ellie's dream of having a home at Paradise Falls. There is a meaning to this movie. While we are focusing on pursuing our dream, we often get distracted and faced with challenges . And at those times, we may become so focused that we lose sight the other things that can be important to us too. And Russell was there to lighten us up that sometimes we may need to be flexible in doing our mission. And Ellie's reminders that we sometimes we need to move on and find new adventures in our life and not just about living in the past.

Another truly recommended movie by Pixar Studio. One of the things that made my weekend so wonderful.
