Mon 6/1/2009 11:36a | I'm kind of thrilled that no one has posted a "spoilers" thread yet.
I really think folks should go see it, not having a clue what it's about. :)
Having said that, I love it when collars malfunction! LOL! |

Lol, me too, STIL. I about died laughing at those parts. And the squirrel bits. . . reminded me so much of my Cocker Spaniel, Mia.
And back to the topic on hand, I had no problem with the violence portrayed. It wasn't over the top; it was handled subtly and realistically.
I really feel we coddle children too much. So many kids movies nowadays just cater down to them. I can't help but think back to the non-Disney movies that I grew up with, The Goonies, The NeverEnding Story. If you look at the movies of the 80s & compare them to today's kids movies, there's a world of difference. Did those movies scare me as a kid? Heck yeah. But I think that was a good thing. Kids need to face fantasy scares in order to deal with those of real-life. And saying that the violence in Up is graphic is just ludicrous. |

LOL! |

When they fix the statue. LOL!
But I just LOVE the part when Chunk is "confessing" in the blender scene. PRICELESS!

Now, back to the violence in "Up." |
