2009 Directed by Pete Docter
Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.

Dad what's wrong?
Grown up stuff, sweetheart.
Like what?
Daddy's just a bit afraid for the world.
Is it because of the Orange Hamster Man?
Yep.
Are you sad?
A bit.
Wanna watch a movie?
Yeah.
Which one?
You pick.
My kids know me so well.
One hundred years from now, film scholars will study the 15 wordless minutes near the beginning of this movie as one of the finest examples of storytelling across any medium or genre. I say this without threat of hyperbole.
Watched in preparation for Pete Docter's newest film, Inside Out.
Although I like Up quite a bit, I still don't find it to be the masterpiece other people say it is. Yes, it goes without saying that the first ten minutes are absolutely brilliant, flawless even. From the opening bit of exposition to the utterly astonishing montage showing the relationship between Carl and Ellie over the course of several decades, the filmmakers managed to create possibly the greatest thing to come out of the studio. Hell, it might even be one of the greatest movie moments of the 21st century! Every single time I watch it, I'm completely taken by the craftsmanship put into the visual composition, musical accompaniment, and…
This movie is so perfect it feels like a work of alchemy. The only way I can conceive of someone creating something this moving and funny and exciting is if they first went down to the crossroads and made a deal with Satan. I waffle on Pixar's greatest masterpiece (FINDING NEMO and MONSTERS INC. are usually my other contenders) but for now, I'm going with UP.
After college, most of my friends moved away. I found myself somewhat adrift and unsure of how to connect with others. Around that time, I had a chat online with an old friend that re-opened my struggle with my gender (I had managed to repress things pretty significantly for a few years there), and I felt completely isolated. Even after I started finding new friends and new experiences, I still found myself pulling back, closing off, unable to push myself beyond certain routines. Despite managing to find my own small adventures, even in company, gender dysphoria kept the real me locked away. And in my mind, especially lately, the good parts of those years have been hard to remember. All…

Other than Toy Story and Monsters, Inc, this is probably Pixar's most popular film. I can KINDA see why. The first act is truly GREAT but in my opinion, everything that follows just isn't as good. The beginning, and end, to me, are the best things about this movie. I also love whenever we see Carl reminiscing about Ellie.
I remember when I was in 5th grade, I brought in the DVD for my class to watch and almost the entire class including the teacher were near crying with this movie. This is a beautiful story about love and letting go. Pixar loves to tell adult stories and put them out in a way both adults and kids…
