    Storyline

    • 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 age time-lines of the characters don't add up. When we see Carl as a child, Charles Muntz is a late middle aged man. But when they meet, they are about the same age. This is because the plot was slightly different in an earlier version of the movie. In that version, the birds' eggs would keep you alive for ever if you ate them, which is why Muntz was so interested in the bird, and the reason why he is still alive when Carl meets him. Pixar eventually decided to drop the concept about the eggs, but by then it was too late to change the part about Muntz still being alive and healthy. So they kept him in the final version and deliberately ignored that he should actually have been decades older than Carl.
    • Quotes

      [Carl, in his once-again airborne house, suddenly hears a knock at the front door]

      Carl Fredricksen: [Surprised] Russell?

      [opens the door to find Dug on his doorstep and is very happy]

      Carl Fredricksen: [Smiles] Dug!

      Dug: [Looking sad] I was hiding under your porch because I love you. Can I stay?

      Carl Fredricksen: [Delightfully] Can you stay? Why, you're my dog, aren't you? And I'm your master!

      Dug: [His sadness turns to happiness. As he happily wags his tail] 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.

    Pixar do it again! Up soars to new heights!
    Viewed at the Festival de Cannes 2009

    The opening film of this year's festival, and the first animated film ever to have this honour, Up is truly a film for all ages. The story of the adventures of an old man and a young boy, a flying house tethered to countless balloons, a long-lost (and mad) explorer, a giant bird called Kevin and assorted 'talking' dogs gets funnier and more exciting as it goes along.

    This isn't slapstick humour, although there are some lovely visual gags, but deeper, more thoughtful. At times Up is even touching and poignant.

    Visually, this is a treat and while I was sceptical about the use of 3D to begin with, it is built into the story so seamlessly that it really is worth the effort to seek it out. At the same time, I can't help feeling the 2D version could be even better because the 3D glasses had the effect of dimming the picture. The use of colour in the film is especially noteworthy, with various palettes used according to mood, character and phase of the story. Character voicing and music are also spot on.

    I have no connection with Pixar, Disney or the film whatsoever, even if this review reads like a puff piece. The fact is, Up is an incredible piece of cinema, was a big hit with a very demanding press audience, and is worthy of your time and money.

    Anyone who says animated films cannot amuse and entertain, while at the same time delivering any kind of emotion, does not know what they are talking about.

    Up is so good I can now forgive Pixar for Cars!
