I have to say, I'm not 'over the moon' about it, the way I was with 'The Incredibles' -- but it's beautifully animated, wonderfully told story. Mr. Fredricksen and the kid are a great team.
2	DyGDisney Mon 6/1/2009 5:31p	See, and the Incredibles was one of my least faves. Maybe it's an "Either/Or" thing for those two very different movies. But, UP! ranks right up with Monster's Inc. and WALL•E as my Pixar faves.

4	Jim in Merced CA Mon 6/1/2009 10:24p	The 3-D process and technique is excellent -- way better than watching 3-D in the theme parks for example -- ttotally forgot that I was wearing the glasses.
5	ecdc Mon 6/1/2009 11:43p	^^^^You read my mind :) I was thinking of those 3-D shows in the park and wondering how I'd survive two hours like that. Good to hear, especially with the news that Toy Story and Toy Story 2 will be released as a double-feature this fall in 3-D.

Really heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time. Possibly the first time I teared up in a movie in a long, long time. The rest of the film was fun, a little over-the-top at times, but never boring. There are a few plot loopholes here and there, but overall, it was fun. Loved 'Kevin', Russell and especially Dug. One of the funniest dogs ever animated! And Carl was much more lovable than the trailers make him out to be. One of Pixar's deepest and most emotionally believable characters. The beginning is just fabulous, though. Bring the Kleenex!

The 3D was non-gimmicky and better than the parks' versions, and enhanced the feeling of depth, particularly the sense of height. The only thing I'd check, ecdc, is if the 3D theatre near you is showing the short ("Partly Cloudy") or not. Mine did not, and other LP'ers report that theirs did not either... but some LP'ers report that theirs did. If I'd have known, I wouldn't have minded driving a little further to find a 3D theatre that DID show it.
8	DlandDug Tue 6/2/2009 9:28a	I didn't know it could be shown without Partly Cloudy. I've seen UP three times now, and can't wait to see it again.
9	Ursula Tue 6/2/2009 11:08a	I laughed, I cried, I bought the Shirt. Seriously, I LOVED that they didn't do any stupid 3D tricks and really showcased what 3D can do to enhance a motion picture. I would love to find out what Pixar will do with a feature film that is produced start to finish as a 3D picture. Knowing UP wasn't originally intended as a 3D vehicle, I don't even think my mind can go there.
10	Jim in Merced CA Wed 6/3/2009 8:31a	^^^One of the things I liked most about seeing UP in 3-D, is that it didn't rely on gimmicky junk to make you say 'oooh, that was cool and in 3-D.' It really just enhanced what is already a beautiful looking movie. On the other hand, the preview for 'G-Force' with the secret agent Guinea Pigs? That movie seems to rely on gimmicky 3-D special effects. It also relies on stupid gimmicky Guinea Pigs that talk, in stupid gimmicky stereotypical voices, with stupid gimmicky fart jokes. Did I mention that I won't be seeing 'G-Force'?
