I just saw this today in 3D and loved it. The montage in the beginning made me tear up a little as did the scene when Carl noticed his and Ellie's pictures in the adventure book. This is why Pixar is the best!

It was good, but not one that I'll probably buy or watch again.

Watched it Thursday, didnt love it, probably give a 7/10. I blubbered like a school girl during the montage, that was the best part of the whole film. Another solid offering by Pixar, and still miles ahead of any other animated junk out there. Pixar knows how to tell a story and create characters you grow to love.

I dont think I will watch it again though, or if I do I am fast forwarding through the montage, I dont think I can sit through that again :eek:

What a puss.:(
 
I hear ya Darth Waller, saw it on Sci-Fi.com...very sad. :monkey2

Terminally ill California girl gets dying wish to see Up

Every now and then, we find a story that underscores why we do what we do here, and this is one. It's the story of a terminally ill 10-year-old California girl whose last wish was to screen the Disney/Pixar movie Up and the noble people at Pixar who granted it just in time.
The story's been the buzz of the Internet since it broke on the Associated Press (via The Orange County Register) last week. We don't need to go into the details—mainly because they tear our hearts out—but here's the gist:

<!-- Secondary Media Source BEGINS -->
<!-- /Secondary Media Source ENDS -->Colby Curtin desperately wanted to see Up, but the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater. Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville, Calif.,-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie. Because she was too ill to keep her eyes open, Colby's mom described the movie to her as it played. Asked afterward if she enjoyed the movie, the girl nodded. She died later that night.
Here's what's sad and awful and wonderful about this story, aside from the obvious. It shows there are still people—even in Hollywood—who care more about a child's dying wish than they do about money or copyrights or legal niceties. It shows that a film story still has the power to give hope and comfort and joy and solace to people in the most extreme circumstances.
And it shows that Up really is something special: The message of the movie, after all, is that even in the depths of loss and grief, love can reach across the vastness of time and space to touch us, to allow us to go on. Love is the true adventure.

I've seen it twice and both times I cried. Pixar are a bunch of geniuses, no other way to put it
 
The PIXAR track record is kind of scary. They've got storytelling and character design down to a science. The emotional shorthand that they use is completely unrivaled. You care about the characters almost immediatley and it doesn't feel manipulative.
Walt would be very happy with John Lasseter.

Stick it out here! :D

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as fun to me as some Pixar movies. I loved the dogs!

Great movie! Wow, I felt that montage too! Thank goodness I had to show a tough front because my son was there, otherwise I might have been bawling as well.

My wife was told that the movie sucked. She chose to go to a party with the people that told her it sucked. I took my kids and they thought it was great as well.

Even my son, who didn't seem to believe that Transformers doesn't come out until this Wednesday, and I am taking them to that movie as well, enjoyed it.
 
Wow! Saw this last night and I bawled HARD at the opening montage. The theater was deathly silent after it came to an end, and I had trouble not making any sobbing noises :monkey2

Then I cried again when he was looking through Ellie's adventure book later and she'd filled it in with photos from their life and adventures together... so so sweet. The writers at Pixar are pure genius. If you haven't watched the special documentary on their story process (it's on the special edition of Wall-E), you should!

The dogs were GREAT. When they started flying the planes, I was cracking up. The kid was great too - spot on - he was a KID, not a caricature of a kid.

The only thing that bugged me slightly was the age of the old man - they spent a lot of time at the beginning making it seem like he was so old he couldn't even climb stairs, but then he starts doing all kinds of stunts - but it's a cartoon so I forgive them ;) :lol

And yes, I agree, Walt would be very very proud of John Lasseter and Pixar. Such a great company!

10/10 - I just don't know how it could have gotten any better - perfect storytelling, perfect emotional tone, perfect animation, and super fun... exactly what a movie should be.

Just think, Dusty. When it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray, you can cry your eyes out in the comfort of your own home. I most likely will. :monkey2
