Got to see Up last night. As per usual, Pixar did not disappoint. Only they can make me cry in the beginning of a movie. I mean, uh... I didn't cry. *cough*

The short at the beginning was awesome as well. They took such a common theme/idea and somehow went further with it and made a very entertaining, and very cute short film. Honestly, it takes amazing storytelling skills.

The actual movie itself was cute and quite sentimental. Of course there were plenty of funny scenes as well. Unfortunately, I don't think there were as many memorable lines other than the ones from the trailer, but it was still good no less. Not to mention, what kid hasn't dreamed of flying off to a far-off country with a mass of multicoloured helium balloons? =D

The 3D unfortunately wasn't as hard-core as I thought it would be, but it did make for some really cool stuff in some of the scenes. The movie is definitely worth a watch in theaters for the 3D regardless.

Overall, Up doesn't make it to the top of my Pixar list, but it was still very enjoyable, and I will still buy the DVD when it comes out and watch it over and over again. Sometimes I just can't help--

SQUIRREL!
