Up

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take moviegoers up, up and away on one of the funniest adventures of all time with their latest comedy-fantasy.

Up follows the uplifting tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly imaginative adventure.

Critic Reviews:

• " Funny and poignant and full of life, Up easily qualifies as one of the best movies of the year so far. Go with someone you care about. " – Tom Charity

• " A hugely enjoyable work, whose care, craftsmanship and creative courage are rarely found in mainstream films – animated or otherwise. " – Cosmo Landesman

• " What's so impressive about Up is that the film-makers never lose sight of their adult concerns. " – Toby Young
