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 paralyzed young boy star-struck by a renowned explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become hasty friends, and converse to one day depart to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they seize their dream home and fix it up, hoping to believe it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through outmoded age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a blissful marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s hurt when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers cessation in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and move to Paradise Falls. A used balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of shiny balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a beefy, doughty kid trying to derive a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the mature man and the shrimp boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a big 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 discontinuance 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 gloomy 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 comely 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 novel world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, fat of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Regain another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to originate an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster arresting movie. But in the meantime, they’re peaceful putting out scrumptious consuming movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety outmoded man. It’s a charming, fun slight adventure account with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet cramped myth about loss and appreciate.
As a child, the terrified Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared esteem 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 right 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 interested, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the stir. Abominable kid was unprejudiced trying to score an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle scurry to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a great emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (”I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious veteran man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the aged guy is very familiar to Carl — and to acquire Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as current as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty veteran 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 relish Carl’s treasure for his lost wife, and his listless 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 present 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 arrive to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of large dialogue (”Do you want to play a game? It’s called Ogle Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Icy! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an used airship.
Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and positive 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 distinct to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special see. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (”I hid under your porch because I esteem you”) and act the procedure 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 gather shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of strange 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 absorbing shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to articulate potentially imperfect 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 racy, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can indulge in. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
