Voices: Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, Bob Peterson, Delroy Lindo, Jerome Ranft, John Ratzenberger, Elie Docter, Jeremy Leary.
Carl Fredericksen is a 78- year-old curmudgeon. He used to enjoy his modest life as a balloon seller when his adventure-loving wife Ellie was still alive. When she died, Carl was left with his memories and the awareness that they never made their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America. When well-meaning officials consign Carl to Shady Oaks Retirement Home, he rigs thousands of helium balloons to his house and floats away. He discovers that Russell, a chubby Wilderness Explorer Scout has stowed away. In the tropical jungle, Carl and Russell find more than they bargained for. Charles Muntz is a crazed explorer whose newsreels once inspired Carl and Ellie; Kevin is an exotic bird with a weakness for chocolate; and Dug who is an endearingly golden retriever fitted with a voice box. More importantly, Carl and Russell discover they need each other.
DVD, widescreen (1.85:1); Dolby Digital.

Bonus features rules--yamsitis submitted by tree64 on January 12, 2010, 7:14pm Let me not spoil this for you by not telling you anything. Sort of emotional. Definitely watch the bonus features.

An Emotional Investment Worth Making submitted by CasualTim on May 27, 2010, 4:24pm From what I'd heard about the opening sequences of "Up," I was actually surprised at how quickly Carl ends up... up. That opener is indeed tear-inducing, but it's just a burst of wonder and life; as such, it succeeds totally. This part of "Up" is shorter than many of the deleted scenes from other movies, but fully invests you in Carl as a protagonist. Despite his unconventional age, despite his giant bulb of a nose, despite his overall nature of grumpy old man, you're with him for the next hour and a half. Expect tears.

I shy from saying too much about the story except that the very sweet, preposterous things Carl does for love, guilt, and loneliness actually result in a straightforward adventure that hits every point necessary on the path to redemption and rebirth.

At some point, "Up" does transition to a more traditional villain-chasing-protagonists film, but remains just quirky enough (thanks to Alpha and the rest of the dogs, as well as some of the symbolic images that become quite striking in the middle of the rumpus) to keep one from looking at the clock. There are some shortcuts taken here - it can be assumed that Carl's sudden physical prowess is a result of inspiration, though that is not at all obvious - but nothing that takes us out of the story.

I don't think enough has been made of Jordan Nagai's voicing of Russell. I was actually unable to determine if Russell was being voiced by a child or an adult - not because the voice is anything but young and believably over-energetic, but because it was done so well. Nagai's Russell is in perfect harmony with the action on screen, and is perfectly adorable as a young, innocent gadfly to Asner's Carl. It's been reported that director Pete Docter actually put quite a bit of unconventional effort into getting this performance out of Nagai; both deserve more credit for it than I think they've received.

But credit has probably only been lacking due to being overshadowed by the film as a whole. It is unique and creative. It has emotional range. It goes deeper than its surface images, though those images are often truly wonderful. It is fun enough for kids, yet seriously and emotionally involving for adults (and I'm not just talking about the old 'in-jokes' that tend to be used to make typical cartoons bearable for parents). It's everything you've heard: heartwarming, tragic, unique, exciting, beautiful.

8/10

Touching submitted by aschling on June 3, 2010, 8:53am This movie is great, however, I knew when both my dad and husband told me this movie was sad that it must be. They were right. Don't get me wrong, this is not a depressing movie, it is a great movie but it'll make you cry. Although it would be enjoyable for kids and adults, I don't think kids would be able to fully appreciate all the aspects of the movie. The story is sweet not only because of what Carl does for Ellie but also for what he does for Russell at the end. The characters have a lot of personality and the story is a positive one.

symbolic submitted by lekendrick on September 11, 2010, 1:43am a bit much actually placing the house on one person, or any couple in great number, but moves like paint by # water color proving Pixar not very best if good? Lacks any heart, or dread, even plotting worth mentioning the use common indoor house dogs as fodder for computer generated images versus live action blurs difference between medium.

A Curmudgeon, A Flying House, & a Chubby 8 yr. old Scout submitted by mynning on February 17, 2011, 2:42pm Fantastic movie, seemed a little adult for kids at times but it was wonderful to watch a movie about a senior citizen whose life was going down the toilet fast when suddenly by a quirk of fate he was swept up into an astounding adventure with a persistent, pudgy, and often very prepared as the perfect sidekick for this heroic duo.

Always Makes Me Cry submitted by ejk on June 16, 2011, 12:55pm I may be a softie, but the first 10 minutes always makes me cry.

Diney submitted by bbelalggazali on June 18, 2011, 4:48pm Great movie to watch

Disney Pixar Movie submitted by tomiwa on August 12, 2011, 5:16pm Was an awesome,emotional movie.

cool submitted by buttercupsmiley on August 17, 2011, 5:19pm mind blowing

Great Movie submitted by pubudu on June 22, 2012, 7:53pm The movie follows a young boy and a old grandpa as they seek a sense of adventure in a house tied up with several hundred balloons to keep it afloat.

Beautiful Film submitted by chuntoon on June 23, 2012, 4:20pm Perhaps one of the greatest movies of all time, engaging, funny, heartfelt, and visually stunning... and it has the added bonus of being appropriate for all ages. NOT TO BE MISSED.

Too Sad submitted by steph10 on June 28, 2012, 2:06pm It would have been a good movie, but it was way to very sad. I cried all the way through. If you get emotional you should not watch it.

Very cute! submitted by VickyB77 on June 28, 2012, 11:00pm I didn't know much about the movie other than it was Pixar, but I was pleasantly pleased with this story. Heartwarming, fun, and great morals. Pixar does it again - another great film!!

Wonderful movie submitted by Morgsush on July 1, 2012, 5:56pm This is definitely one of the best Disney movies I've seen. Sweet, sad, and just plain adorable, it made me cry and laugh.

Amazing! submitted by alumeng.ajl on July 14, 2012, 12:37pm This was a really great movie! It's definitely one of my favorite Pixar films to date!

the best submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 9:28pm up is definetely the best animated film to come out yet. it is funny and will warm your heart.

happy, sad, and wonderful! submitted by fairytale on July 24, 2012, 8:46pm The animation was amazing and the story was very compelling!

nice submitted by angejohn on August 10, 2012, 8:13pm great movie!

Terrible submitted by Motomori on August 16, 2012, 11:15am Wasn't that great.

Gave it a Second Chance submitted by adimarzo on June 15, 2013, 10:11pm This wasn't my favorite Disney movie the first time I saw it. It was sad and I just didn't leave the movie feeling like I wanted to see it again. Several years later we caught it on TV and I really enjoyed it, especially the characters of Russell, Doug and Kevin. I still wouldn't rank it at the top of my list but I would definitely watch it again.

Sweet submitted by lulumama on July 6, 2013, 7:54pm Sweet movie but not sure if my kids liked it all that much.

ok submitted by karinnet on July 7, 2013, 9:24am I ordered it but it was really scratched, but even with it being scratched it still was pretty good.

Creative submitted by crazypockets on July 14, 2013, 2:26pm I love the idea behind this, and I loved the movie. It's such a great message about the journeys of life. It has some very funny/cute moments, and the opening sequence will probably make your eyes a little misty. It got a little long toward the end, but I still enjoyed it. The dog is probably the best part of it.

It's okay submitted by bchapman630 on July 15, 2013, 9:13am It's one of my least favorite Pixar movies.However I did cry and I did laugh, so it can't be that bad.

love it submitted by takako on July 21, 2013, 8:17pm this is one of my favorite. Very sweet.

Power of Love submitted by ks1287 on August 2, 2013, 7:29pm Up is a surprisingly touching and beautiful movie with one of the sweetest love stories I've ever seen on film (and done mostly without dialogue to boot!). This is a movie both children and adults will adore.

many great laughs/moments, lots of lines worth quoting submitted by hathaway1066 on August 3, 2013, 9:05pm Up to the usual high standard of Pixar, with interesting, non-standard characters.

Really Funny!! Five Stars!! submitted by sophiemarie on June 21, 2014, 7:26am This movie is really funny!!!! I give it five stars for sure!!! WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!

Didn't Like It submitted by jarroyo on June 25, 2014, 7:09pm I didn't really like this movie. It is kind of sad. It also feels long. I wouldn't recommend it. I don't get all the hype

Sweet submitted by willow on July 26, 2014, 10:24pm A nice, but perhaps overly long, movie with many kids' fantasy of being able to ride away by being attached to a huge pile of balloons. Some scary parts with growling, frightening attack dogs.

Ok, but not one of my favs submitted by AprilCDB on July 28, 2014, 3:14pm This movie was ok, but it's not one of my favorites.

Amazing. Favorite Pixar movie submitted by cowmooflage on August 7, 2014, 8:39am This movie is wonderfully heartfelt. If you don't cry during this movie or at least relate to the characters, then you really don't have a soul

Good submitted by peterflorence on August 15, 2014, 12:28pm This movie is decent.

Cute! submitted by chioma on June 13, 2015, 6:30pm I loved this movie! It was sweet and cute and heartwarming! But be careful, heartwarming also means sad.

Heartwarming submitted by kzheng on June 17, 2015, 6:01pm This is a lovely movie with a funny old man and a silly boy who learn to like each other. The old man, Carl, never got over his wife dying. The boy is a Boy Scout that needs one more badge.

Very nice submitted by earlbae on July 9, 2015, 4:26pm such a good movie that teaches people (btw not just kids) to be nice and etc.

This movie gets so boring submitted by Kikumatsu97 on July 26, 2015, 2:03pm After the beginning the whole theme of film sort of drops off the deep end for interest. It's not my favorite Dine Movie, but I like the idea of a character that's not an animal or a princess, but an old man.

Up submitted by SBNB on July 30, 2015, 9:48pm This is a cute movie, a little sad, unique.

nice submitted by zayd.s on August 2, 2015, 12:38pm it was a nice movie but its not too good

Heartwarming and beautiful submitted by steveiew on August 19, 2015, 9:46am This is one of the best Disney movies ever!

sweet submitted by Lilymarie on August 22, 2015, 4:58pm it teaches you about moving on even when life gives you some set backs. wonderful movie

Cute submitted by Christine Martirosian on August 26, 2015, 7:47pm This is a fun movie

Wonderful film submitted by ishhewitt on July 14, 2016, 5:27pm This is a wonderfully cute movie. I cry every time I watch it, but it's so good.

Nice submitted by Bigal2212 on July 21, 2016, 9:40pm It made me smile

My favorite recent Disney film submitted by purchasingqueen on August 31, 2016, 9:24pm Ed Asner is perfect as the curmudgeonly old man. Heartwarming story and ending.

Possibly Pixar's Best submitted by Meginator on July 2, 2017, 9:45pm The first five minutes of this film is without a doubt the finest, most poignant, saddest, and sweetest film, of whatever length, that I have ever seen. The story that follows is amazing in its own right, but the beauty of those opening moments cannot be overstated; they are cinematic perfection.

"Up" is a story that will amuse kids and adults both, without relying on too much humor that flies over kids' heads; this movie respects its younger and older viewers and the result is an effective and moving work of art. The main narrative has Pixar's traditional hallmarks, and its bones consist of a heartwarming journey of self-discovery and self-reflection, with plenty of humor along the way. Sidekick Dug, a dog who can communicate through a special collar, is as endearing as they come and provides several memorable one-liners you'll be quoting for a while; he's as memorable as the main pair, in some ways. I also appreciate Pixar's willingness to tell stories about unconventional protagonists; in this case, an older widower and a young, awkward boy. All told, this is some of Pixar's finest work.

Great beginning submitted by alleywater on July 3, 2017, 10:10pm Best first 8 minutes of a movie ever.

My kids submitted by Noor86 on July 21, 2017, 11:27pm My kids love this movie

Family movie submitted by erin76 on August 31, 2017, 12:05pm It makes me feel the meaning of the family.

Touching submitted by Xris on June 19, 2018, 9:32pm Great movie that explores the loss of a loved one.

A Complete Delight submitted by ajstemp on June 30, 2018, 12:12am From the very beginning to the very end, Up is touching, thoughtful, inspiring, and just generally warm. It's a sweet story that will mean a lot for both kids and adults. The animation is beautiful and the soundtrack wonderful, and it's one of Disney/Pixar's best.

awesome submitted by maywang on July 6, 2018, 1:00pm a really good movie, emotional, and had ups... and downs. a really awesome thing to watch. most excellent, indeed.

Up submitted by kkellis on July 18, 2018, 9:25pm A wonderful, emotional movie. I never get sick of it!

up! submitted by kevinhe on July 18, 2019, 5:03pm such a heartwarming movie!

not a fan submitted by zora on July 28, 2019, 5:18pm every single person in my family loves this movie except me. I found it really boring and didn't like the plot at all. I understand what it is suppose to mean and all I just find it kinda stupid.

Up submitted by lstorc on July 28, 2019, 7:32pm Up is a heartwarming, creative tearjerker with relatable characters!

Squirrel... submitted by gem on August 3, 2019, 8:58am This was a GREAT movie! It was funny, heart-warming, and had a bit of suspense-did I mention that it was funny?

I would watch it again. And...I still reference the movie and hear it referenced many times when people are distracted (Squirrel---> ). This has earned its place in pop culture.

great movie submitted by laurenalysse on August 5, 2019, 12:01pm this is a great movie about relationships. the first ten minutes will make you cry, and then you'll cheer for Carl and Russell. the use of dogs in this movie is also so great!

Hilarious submitted by crp on August 5, 2019, 9:20pm Hilarious (after heart wrenching first 20 min)

Up submitted by emilysuzanne on August 6, 2019, 3:40pm I loooooove this movie!!

AMAZING submitted by sbeegees on August 17, 2019, 5:48pm Literally perfection. 10/10, would reccomend. It's definitely one of my favorite Pixar movies.

Squirrels submitted by VanCancue on August 23, 2021, 8:36pm The crazy bird is so funny. I love the dog and he is crazy about squirrels.

Best pixar movie of all time submitted by rawan on June 15, 2022, 10:15am The first scene can make anyone of any age cry, best pixar movie

Really good one submitted by Abbie D. on July 10, 2022, 5:00pm Cute story!

Great submitted by ADMartin on July 29, 2022, 6:54pm Very cute movie. Kids of all ages enjoyed.

Cute friendship submitted by Bethybeth07 on August 3, 2022, 4:03pm It's a cute story, but can we all agree that the first five minutes are incredibly unnecessary?! Little kids don't understand what's going on, but all the adults are crying by the end. Come on, Disney. Don't play me like that.

Fun submitted by LittleWyatt on August 7, 2022, 9:43pm I agree with a lot of great other reviews for this, I enjoyed it but I also definitely cried.

Such a sweet movie submitted by JennJenn on August 11, 2022, 3:07pm I love the tenderness of this movie. Definitely one for a good cry.

Sweet submitted by maggotnico on August 14, 2022, 8:54am Sweet movie

Tears fest submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 11:49am I love this movie! Be prepare though with a tissue box or 10 haha.
The story is so sweet! I love how loyal all the characters are! How they all seem lost but they find each other! Please please watch it! It is soo worth it.
i love doug!! Some great quotes for sure!

Great movie, tears will come submitted by jrpolaczyk on July 10, 2023, 7:19am Awesome family movie that everyone will love. Special spots in there for adult laughs, and kids love it too.

Wonderful submitted by pjaynes on July 23, 2023, 2:54pm The marriage montage at the beginning of the film rightfully is praised the most when people talk about Up. It's beautifully heartbreaking and brilliant. However, the rest of the movie is worth praising because of its lessons of growth and friendship at any age. No matter a person's age, they can start a new chapter in their life. They can have new adventures, learn something new about themselves and the world, and build friendships, even across generations. I think that's a very sweet and hopeful message that people of any age should hear.

Squirrel submitted by trina05 on July 26, 2023, 9:44pm Doug is my favorite character but each character is different and wonderful. Watch this movie!

Fun and touching submitted by neslerc on August 22, 2023, 2:41pm A fun adventure movie for the family, staring off with an emotional prologue
