Up! is a heartwarming Pixar film that was released in 2009. This movie is a perfect film for children three to one hundred and three.
Up! includes many lovable characters. One of these characters is Carl Fredricksen. Carl is an old man who, in the start of the movie, is quite bitter.

I have a few words about Up. I think it’s a great movie also. I believe everyone has seen this movie no matter what age you are. It should be a law to see this family fun movie. My first time seeing this was with my girlfriend of sophomore year. We loved that movie it was a good time. It has a really good plot and even a good ending. I hate movies with bad endings. Way to kill an entire experience right? I thought your review to be quite accurate and heartwarming. I enjoy the enthusiasm you had about the movie. All the pictures were really fun also. You seem to capture all the best parts of the movie which can make a kid want to actually go see the movie. It’s pretty cool how you got moving pictures as well! You have to let me know how you did that. Good review all in all
ReplyDeleteKatie, I couldn't agree with you anymore on this movie. There is nothing better than a classic pixar film no matter how old we are. I remember I first saw this movie when it came out in the theater and I fell in love with it. From the love story in the beginning to the friendship between Carl and Russell, this movie almost had me tearing up. I loved how you mentioned the things Up! has to offer for the different ages because it truly does have something to offer to everyone. The plot line definitely includes values that should be cherished. The videos and pictures in your blog look awesome and I love that you chose to put the scene in with Carl and Ellie, I think it's one of the best scenes. I have only seen the entire movie a couple of times, but after reading your recommendation, I definitely plan on watching it again soon.
