UP - The latest Animated Movie from Pixar (Review)

IMDB Rating: 8.6/10.0
IMDB's No.1 Best Animated film


Up is a 2009 American computer-animated comedy-adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The film premiered on May 29, 2009 in North America as the first animated film to premiere on the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. The film was released in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2009.

Up is director Pete Docter's second feature-length film after Monsters, Inc., and features the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Bob Peterson, and Jordan Nagai. The film has been released in 3D in select theatres (I was lucky enough to watch it in 3D).

Plot:
The film centers around a grumpy old man named Carl Fredricksen and an overeager Wilderness Explorer named Russell who fly to South America in a floating house suspended from helium balloons.

Music:

The music director Michael Giacchino has done a really-good job. Remember him? Yes, he is the same composer from The Incredibles, Mission Impossible: III, Ratatouille, Speed Racer and Sky High. Like his all other works, his music adds to the various emotions - tension, comedy, senti and more. You can definitely rely on him. For he is one of the best composers the world had seen and his orchestrations are stupendous.

Review:

The film starts with a slow pace for the first 10 mins. But hold on, you are about to see the greatest and humorous adventure. You start laughing from the moment the little kid enters the screen. The fun tops when the house starts "flying". Ofcourse, the movie has some boring parts. But, they are very few that it becomes totally inconspicuous.

UP, a movie so different, with amazing special effects and the right mixture of emotions, making it a perfect Animated feature film.

Fame:

The film has been ranked among the top 50 in the overall list and No.1 in Animated Films category in IMDB. I also got to watch this on a Blu-ray disc version. I got more or less the same feeling that I am watching a 3D film in theatre.

The film has received overwhelmingly positive reviews with a rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. A video game of the same name, based on the film, was released on May 26, 2009
