SQUIRREL!

I love Up, it's one of my favorites. Great Besties, Rorie!

Up is a great movie. It made me cry like a little baby towards the end. The only other movie that can make me do that is The Iron Giant.

Still the only movie that gets me misty eyed withing 10 minutes of it starting. So good.

Totally fucking agree!

I have to wonder how much children can appreciate this movie. It's one of my favorites but I don't know what my reaction would have been if this were released in 1999 instead.

Up was up for me.

My favorite Pixar film. Solid choice and great video

Just a suggestion Rorie I know you said that if you haven't seen a film its best to not watch the video you have on it so with that in mind maybe you should spend less time on going over the plot since all the viewers have seen the film. I'd like it if you could highlight a few of you favorite films and articulate about why the film came together so well.

I absolutely love this movie, and Dug (I agree) is one of Pixar's finest achievements.

Up, WALL-E, and Toy Story 3 have been quite a stellar run for Pixar, and even more evidence that Pixar seems to really wants to branch out into more adult themes. I hope they keep reaching.

Ratatouille is my favorite pixar film, up is certainly among the top though. I say their casting is probably the best in the business. Completely perfect actors to go with their characters and sometimes you barely even know or remember who they are in real life and you don't care they aren't super celebrities.

I have no problem what so ever when telling people that UP and the Iron Giant are my favorite movies.

Just cause they are animated does not make them any less special.

TheKingon Nov. 24, 2011 at 8:18 a.m.

God, I love this movie. Great video!

I want to say, it's the best Pixar film, but it still doesn't hold the same place in my heart as the Toy Story trilogy does.

RockmanBionicsSynchronon Nov. 24, 2011 at 8:36 a.m.

I haven't seen this movie so I probably shouldn't watch this, but I'm going to anyway.

Edit:I changed my mind, I need to see this before I spoil too much.

@RockmanBionicsSynchron: Good choice, although I imagine the first ten minutes are already ruined for you :/

Up is probably my favourite Pixar movie. The intro and ending still get to me.
mbkishon Nov. 24, 2011 at 8:57 a.m.

Easily my favorite Pixar movie. It looks fantastic on Blu-Ray.

ZipCrashon Nov. 24, 2011 at 9:04 a.m.

Such a fantastic movie and here I thought it would be Pixar's weakest when I saw the trailers.

Redon Nov. 24, 2011 at 9:18 a.m.

Definitely my favorite pixar movie. I love how it tells most of the story through visuals, instead of just saying it. The few scenes in the movie featuring mainly just visuals and music are incredibly powerful and memorable.
