Animation. Adventure. Comedy. Kids By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn’t alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A breathtaking ride into the realm of pure imagination. (...) wonderfully funny and touching (...) 'Up' works miracles. Just sit back and watch it fly. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)."
		Richard Corliss Time	"Extending the patented Pixar mix of humor and heart, Up is the studio's most deeply emotional and affecting work".
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"A delirious fantasy that has one leg in the real world of hopes dashed and realised and the other in the cartoon tradition of journeying and adventure (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"An exquisite work of cinematic art that also happens to be the funniest, most touching, most exciting and most entertaining movie released so far this year"
		Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer	"How much do I love this movie? If it were mathematically possible, I'd give it five stars out of four"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Up is a wonderful film, with characters who are as believable as any characters can be who spend much of their time floating above the rain forests of Venezuela. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)."
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Like the opener of 'Wall-E' and the critic’s Proustian reminiscence of childhood in 'Ratatouille,' this is filmmaking at its purest. (...) As in their finest work, the Pixar filmmakers have created thrilling cinema simply by rifling through its history."
		Tom Long Detroit News	"There are not words enough to express how good 'Up' is"
