I've seen quite a few movies recently (Star Trek, Angels and Demons, and The Hangover)..and now I can successfully add UP (in 3D of course) to my summer movie seeing marathon!
The previews do not do this movie justice! I was thinking, oh cute a Disney/Pixar movie, sure I'll see it...but its SOOO much more than that!
Its heartwarming. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh some more.
Yes Dug, the dog with the talking dog collar is as cute and silly as can be, but there's more! There's so much more!
I feel like Disney has always done a good job of providing moral/life lessons....
-Don't judge a book by its cover
-Lying won't get you anywhere in the end
-Hard work pays off
-Value friendships and family
-Trust/believe in yourself
Without giving anything away Up had a different sort of message, a message I'm not too sure young children will understand, but a great opportunity for parents (or relatives, or teachers, or anyone) to explain it to them when the opportunity arises.
...and don't you think that Carl Fredricksen is the cutest pixar character ever?
Only downside?...the $14.75 price tag that came with the ticket and 3D glasses! :(
Everyone has been talking about this movie - we may have to check it out on our next date night! Which, of course, may be a while since our primary babysitter is a cripple right now. But still! And 3-D is fun!
