Here’s a movie for dog lovers, the elderly, children of divorce, FOBs (Friends of Birds), ragged Boy Scouts, people yearning for adventure, and anyone who has ever loved… and lost. Up is for everyone. It made me laugh out loud, and it made me bawl.

I concept it would be tough for Up to match the emotional power of Wall-E. The two Pixar films are similar in their lack of dialogue in the first act, which helps deepen the emotional impact. Up begins with Carl, a apprehensive young boy star-struck by a illustrious explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become mercurial friends, and voice to one day depart to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they retract their dream home and fix it up, hoping to own it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through traditional age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a ecstatic marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s harm when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers terminate in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and proceed to Paradise Falls. A mature balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of brilliant balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a corpulent, dauntless kid trying to regain a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the archaic man and the slight boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a colossal rare bird that bonds with Russell (he names her “Kevin”) . Dug is priceless: spot-on for every dog that ever lived, including an obsession with squirrels. Through a series of cessation calls and adventures, the quartet vanquishes a villain, saving the day. And Russell earns his scouting badge.
In the process, Carl learns to let go of his dim mourning for Ellie, and live life again. When this happens, a truly magical thing happens. Before, Carl’s craggy face is gray and monochromatic. At the moment of his transformation, Carl’s face is awash in color, and he is surrounded by stunning hues. It reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy steps out of her gray world and into a candy-colored Munchkinland. Carl, too, enters a whole current world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, chubby of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Bag another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to get an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster entertaining movie. But in the meantime, they’re unruffled putting out savory piquant movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety feeble man. It’s a charming, fun shrimp adventure fable with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet puny fable about loss and worship.
As a child, the worried Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared care for of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, travel into their “clubhouse” together, and lived a long, sadly childless life together. When Ellie died, she had never fulfilled her dream of going to Paradise Falls.
Now crotchety, alone and harassed by a proper estate developer, Carl (Ed Asner) is finally ordered to a retirement home. But he isn’t going quietly — instead he attaches thousands of balloons to his house and floats it away toward South America. But he accidentally takes an involved, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the trek. Terrible kid was honest trying to bag an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle swagger to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a vast emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (“I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious venerable man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the dilapidated guy is very familiar to Carl — and to grasp Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as favorite as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty old-fashioned coot. Well, shows what they know. It ended up becoming one of those classic movies that somehow appeals to all ages — while the humor and action appeal to children, adults can luxuriate in Carl’s admire for his lost wife, and his boring realization that he’s clinging to the past.
In fact, the first ten minutes are some of the most heart-tugging, quietly bittersweet scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Without a word, they explain all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing worn together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy near to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of substantial dialogue (“Do you want to play a game? It’s called Witness Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Chilly! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an extinct airship.
Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and definite to fulfill his wife’s lifelong dream, but gradually realizing he’s clinging to the past. Nagai is equally perfect as Carl’s polar opposite: a naive, chattery Scout who is obvious to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special survey. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (“I hid under your porch because I worship you”) and act the contrivance dogs would if they talked. Three words: cone of shame.
The two-disc edition is going to have some very nice extras, but once again people with regular-def DVDs are going to gain shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of unique stuff. Grr. As for this one, there’s a digital copy, the director’s audio commentary, kinda-alternate-ending “The Many Endings of Muntz,” and the documentary “Adventure Is Out There” about the research for this movie.
There are also a pair of adorable exciting shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to articulate potentially obnoxious baby creatures from a kind but clueless cloud. And “Dug’s Special Mission” is a sort of backstory for the adorable Dug, explaining what the heck he was doing before he met up with Carl and Russell.
“Up” continues Pixar’s running tally of gloriously piquant, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can be pleased. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
