Is there anyone who doesn't love a Pixar movie? I don't think so.
Up is another Pixar great. Full of all the wonder and delight you expect to see. What really makes this movie magic is it's central character, Karl. Karl is 78 years old and about to be put in an Old Folks Home, but refusing to give up on his life long dream of adventure, ties thousands of helium balloons to his house and takes flight!
Most animated movies center around kids or young people and their big dreams and fantasies. Up reminds us that dreaming big and living life to the fullest isn't just for kids. Strange and exciting adventures can happen at any age, as can learning something new about yourself.
Oh and a little personal story. I saw this movie for the first time at the cinema just before my wedding. Oh glory did I tear up as I watched the ups and downs of Karl's long life. I teared up again on this second viewing too. They are happy tears, of a happy life. I will always watch this movie and be reminded of how a simple but happy life.. is a very good life.
