As a boy, Carl Fredricksen wanted to explore South America and find the forbidden Paradise Falls. About 64 years later he gets to begin his journey along with Boy Scout Russell by lifting his house with thousands of balloons. On their journey, they make many new friends including a talking dog, and figure out that someone has evil plans. Carl soon realizes that this evildoer is his childhood idol.

Trivia
The villain Charles Muntz has a similar name to Charles Mintz, the Universal Pictures executive who in 1928 stole Walt Disney's production rights to his highly-successful "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" cartoon series. This led Walt Disney to create Mickey Mouse, who soon eclipsed Oswald in popularity.

Goofs
The phrase "Jiminy Cricket" was used in common slang as a euphemism for "Jesus Christ" (in context of a "cuss" word) since the 1920s. The expression is spoken in movies like The Brave Little Tailor (1938) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). Pinocchio (1940) had a character named Jiminy Cricket who was named after the expression, not the other way around.

Quotes
[Carl, in his once-again airborne house, suddenly hears a knock at the front door]
Carl Fredricksen: Russell?
[opens the door to find Dug on his doorstep]
Carl Fredricksen: Dug!
Dug: I was hiding under your porch because I love you. Can I stay?
Carl Fredricksen: Can you stay? Why, you're my dog, aren't you? And I'm your master!
Dug: You are my master? Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
[lunges forward and covers Carl in slobbery kisses]
Carl Fredricksen: [laughing] Good boy, Dug. You're a good boy.

Crazy credits
The photographs of characters shown during the end credits thematically match the crew members' positions, as do the "Wilderness Explorer" badges that also appear.

Alternate versions
In international prints, the label on the savings jar for Paradise Falls bears a drawing of said place as opposed to text.

Connections
Edited into Dug's Special Mission (2009)

Soundtracks
Habanera
(uncredited) (1875)

10/10

Possibly the best Pixar film to date.

I was luckily able to catch a screening a few weeks ago here in Houston.

As an avid lover of Wall-E, I felt Pixar could never reach those heights again.

I was wrong.

UP's story will probably seem peculiar at first glance. An old man as a protagonist? It definitely blew my expectations. The first 5 minutes demolished every other Pixar feature just because it was the first time I cried in a theater.

This just shows how much heart there is to the movie. I really don't want to get into specifics because of spoilers but the movie literally has everything.

Amazing visual effects.

Amazing sound.

Hilarious comedy.

Breath taking action.

Heart.

All those combined equal something special. Today's movies like to blow you away with gimmicks, Pixar is different. Each movie shows soul and UP definitely has it.

I can't wait until it comes out so I can see it in 3d, im bringing everybody.

10/10
