A perfectly uplifting film on every level with a thoroughly rich animation that is, in a word, stunning. Up, directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, stars Ed Asner (as voice of Carl Fredricksen), the widowed crudmudgeon who sets out - his house in tow via a collection of balloons - to honour a promise he made to his wife, and Jordan Nagai (the voice of Russell), the honest Cub Scout whose out to help him in order to earn his 'help the elderly' badge. The strength of Up is firmly rooted in its perfect story; a story as good as you're likely to see on film in some years. The fable that is released is tragic and heart-stoppingly romantic, fun and action filmed. Up sets a new America standard for animation that rivals the intricacies woven by Hayao Miyazaki and should not be missed.
My rating 10 out 10.
