Up (2009)

Pixar does it yet again with a competitor for the best film of 2009...

If Wall-E was Pixar's Jim Cameron movie, Up is their Jean Cocteau film.

A must see, in whatever format.

Lo notable de Pixar es que tampoco parece pretender alcanzar nuevas metas, ni siquiera superarse a sí mismos, con cada nuevo proyecto. Simplemente lo hacen lo mejor que pueden.

Up soars.

A solid Disney adventure feature animation using Pixar.

A powerful, often hilarious film.

Indeed, Up has first-rate animation and superlative voice work, but it's the heartfelt story that cements its status as the best film of 2009 so far.

Up is an engaging, exciting, warm-hearted trip at the movies. Up starts slowly, but picks up helium and soars... In 1923 Buster Keaton made The Balloonatic. 86 years later Up enters the Buster Keaton stratosphere.

Its refusal to sugarcoat death and loneliness deepens its appeal, with Carl's longing for Ellie so palpable, few won't be moved as the film wends along its harrowing way.
