Our family loved the movie and are very happy to see it recognized at the Oscars. Here is our tribute to the movie UP. We donated this gingerbread house to support a local Lawrence, KS charity.
I am a huge, rabid Pixar fan but I really disliked this movie. Treacly, manipulative and utterly lacking in fun. Dug and the bird are classic characters but there were barely used, and the maudlin opening section was awful. My kids hated it too. The villain was bad – shouldn’t he have been about 110 by the time Carl was 78? And when and where did he create the supercomputers to run his dog empire. Yes, it’s an animated movie but that’s no excuse for stupid plotting and weak characters. Fantastic Mr. Fox and Coraline were better in every way.
Hi i am sorry if this sound rude but the whole point of an animated movie is to use your imagination. I thought UP was one of my favourite movies brought out by Pixar. I believe that the movie was fun and it had a lot of fun imaginative ideas within the movie but also it had some adult humor which allowed it to be enjoyed by all. The opening of the movie was different but that is because it is trying to show a life from early stages which in real life was viewed in that way in movies and to experience a life someone lives. It is supposed to express many different feelings to allow the viewer to interact and connect through their own experiences. The fact of the age of the villian is unrealistic still makes the movie as normally other movies people die which loses the dream, Pixar could not continue the movie if the villan died as there would be no point then. The point I am trying to make is it IS an animated movie allowing people to express their imagination even though they may not be 100 true. Look at Toy story for example. Toys cant talk but it was still a hit.
