Up is amazing, like every single other Pixar movie. Up is everything that makes these movies great. It is smart and funny, sad at times exciting at others and just always managed to keep a smile on my face throughout. It is so obvious that the people at Pixar not only have a love for storytelling but also for the animation genre. Anything and everything can be done in the world of animation and Pixar are the ones that keep pushing the boundaries of this medium.
The movie's first quarter is a montage of Carl Fredricksen's life from his childhood to his wedding, to the death of his wife ending up with him turning into a grumpy old man. Soon after everything changes. From the instant the balloons fly out of his chimney we are thrown into this amazing fantasy world with talking dogs and giant birds. Carl is joined by a young Asian boyscout named Russell, who is attempting to earn his "Help the Elderly" badge. Their interactions are hilarious, Russell's childish habits play off Carl's grumpiness so greatly and it almost always guarantees a laugh. They eventually become very close as Carl becomes a sort of father figure for Russell.
There were over 10 000 balloons created each of them with their own animation and physics and its insanely beautiful. This is why I love Pixar.
