A feisty septuagenarian teams with a fearless wilderness ranger to do battle with a vicious band of beasts and villains in this computer-animated adventure scripted by Pixar veteran Bob Peterson and co-directed by Peterson and Monsters, Inc. director Peter Docter. Carl Fredricksen is a 78-year-old balloon salesman. His entire life, Carl has longed to wander the wilds of South America. Then, one day, the irascible senior citizen shocks his neighbors by tying thousands of balloons to his home and finally taking flight. But Carl isn't alone on his once-in-a-lifetime journey, because stowed away on his front porch is an excitable eight-year-old wilderness explorer named Russell. Later, as the house touches down on the world's second largest continent, Carl and his unlikely traveling companion step outside to discover that not only is their new front lawn considerably larger, but that the predators therein are much more ferocious than anything they ever faced back home.

    Brian Orndorf, Dark Horizons Disney/Pixar's Up is a triumphant masterstroke for the studio and their Teflon reputation. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Cosmo Landesman, Times [UK] A hugely enjoyable work, whose care, craftsmanship and creative courage are rarely found in mainstream films - animated or otherwise. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Ian Freer, Empire Magazine If it had lived up to its golden first five minutes, Up would have been the film of the decade. As it is, it remains the best animated flick of 2009, a funny, moving, beautifully made argument that dreamers can move mountains. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Matthew De Abaitua, Film4 The creative leadership of the Pixar team restores clarity, simplicity, and courage to storytelling, establishing a daunting gold standard for family films. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Toby Young, Times [UK] What's so impressive about Up is that the film-makers never lose sight of their adult concerns. Full review External link
  7. Positive review
    Giles Hardie, Unknown2 Pixar's latest hero is a septuagenarian, misanthropic crank. And this film is all about him. It shouldn't work. We shouldn't like him, or want to watch him. But we do. You will. And you'll love it. Full review External link
  8. Positive review
    Jason Di Rosso, MovieTime, ABC Radio National Overall it is up there (pardon the pun) with the best of the big studio CGI animations for kids and adults. Full review External link
  9. Positive review
    Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia) The latest computer-animated adventure from Pixar Studios has a simple premise that should enchant viewers of all ages, fusing childhood fantasies of escape with adult feelings of melancholy and regret. Full review External link
