Funny and poignant and full of life, Up easily qualifies as one of the best movies of the year so far. Go with someone you care about.

A hugely enjoyable work, whose care, craftsmanship and creative courage are rarely found in mainstream films - animated or otherwise.

4/5

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.

... a film of whimsy and wonder, mixing Jules Verne imagination with the bubble-gum colors of a children’s picture book and Pixar’s trademark bouncy humor, all stirred with memories of childhood dreams.

4/4

Pixar’s clarity of purpose astounds. Flawlessly evocative, the film’s joys are so very joyful and the saddening moments ever so tender.

I realize this is generally a controversial take, but I believe Up to be a fairly overrated Pixar film. But I mean, it’s still great. Very charming, has all of the Pixar magic, and can be devastatingly emotional, especially that first 10 minutes. But, I have always found it to be a bit slower after the opening montage, and not really as consistently entertaining as most of the other Pixar flicks at that point. But like I said, it’s still a very good film.

Superbuena, con una trama interesante, un sentido del humor espectacular, la actitud del niño es fascinante (muy trabajada y divertida), el señor mayor tiene un desarrollo de personaje bastante bueno (de ser un viejo gruñón pasa a preocuparse por el niño como si fuera su abuelo), puedo decir mucho pero tampoco haré la reseña tan larga, simplemente es divertida, entretenida, apropiada, original, de las mejores obras de arte del cine que vi en mi niñez
