Up is an amazing movie

I just watched it yesterday and loved it. The beginning was incredible.

Hah I thought this was a joke topic at first. This movie is absolute drivel, full of predictable jokes and an even more predictable story. And to those that say it's quite mature...have you passed through puberty yet?

What didn't you like about Charles Muntz? He's actually one of my favorite Pixar villains now next to Hopper and Syndrome.

I think Pixar definitely can handle a mature film. I think they've proven that they're master storytellers and that they definitely have it in them to create something amazing (It's not just the animation that makes them the most respected animation studio of our day - it's the stories they've told that truly makes them stand out from the crowd). They're just trying to appeal to everyone - not just one set crowd. I guess it really depends how mature you want Pixar to go, but if it's really something out of the PG window, I really don't know what the chances will then be. Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo and WALL-E director), is currently working on his next film (John Carter of Mars) and it's not going to be released under the Pixar label. I question if that will mean it will be a more mature film like the ones you're asking for - but I think that's just something to keep in mind. Pixar is going to stay Pixar, but I think if the team is going to work on maturer projects, they'll probably release them under different labels.

Its not that I didn't like Charles Muntz, its more the idea of him. I think the film didn't need a villain, the life themes almost felt like background once the villain was thrown in. He still worked as a villain, and I know kids films need a villain for the most part, but some part of me was hoping the film didn't have a villain since it didn't need once. I realize it is a kid's film though, so in that case the villain worked despite how he was a bit cliche. I look forward to John Carter of mars, it sounds interesting. I cant remember if Pixar did this, but another kid's film I really liked was The Iron Giant. Was that Pixar or someone else?

Ah ok thanks, I like Brad Bird. I didn't like Ratatouille much, it looked great but I found it pretty shallow and dull for the most part. The incredibles was pretty good though.

that it is.

UP is a fantastic movie. Just watched it this past weekend. The dog voices were a little weird, but all in all it had a great message for all of us to think about. I own it on Blu-Ray and it is almost as visually pleasing as Wall-E.
