Pixar's most mature film to date is a wonderful blend of childish humour and adult entertainment. The film is a beautiful example of animation, filled with striking colour and faces that have experienced much. The artistry of the film makes the adventure so fantastical and captiv...( read more)
Sentimental and Nostalgic at times, Up paints an animated pastiche of old age and family relationships, that leans more heavily on the message than on the humor on occasion. It nevertheless pulls off a great piece of animation.
Dare I say, slightly disappointing Pixar production with a very average second half. Should have stuck with the courage of its convictions outlined seamlessly in the first 30 mins but clearly felt the pressure to 'liven things up' for the kids. 3D adds scale and perspective in so...( read more)

In the past, Pixar have tackled talking cars, washed-up superheroes, a rat who cooks and a mute garbage robot in a post-apocalyptic environment. For Up, the revered animation pioneers deliver something unexpected: a melancholy action-ad
An AWESOME movie! One of my all time favourites...no crude or vulger humour and a great movie for young and old..
Such a touching movie! Although a cartoon, the story is most definitely good for any age group =]
For family audiences looking for heart and laughs , 'Up' soars above the rest as the funniest film of the summer. full review
Its charms appear to have been applied with surgical precision; by the end, I felt expertly sutured, but not much else. full review
To watch Up with any attention is to be moved and astonished by the economy with which specific visuals are invested with emotion throughout. full review
Up is a breathtaking ride into the realm of pure imagination. Up shames the pap that now passes for family entertainment (yes, Night at the Museum 2, I'm talking to you). full review
From the title onward, Up is a stratospheric success. It's guaranteed to lift your spirits, and not with a pushy DreamWorks-style gag reel of celebrity voices and committee-processed one-liners. full review
Because the movie's grounded, it's free to fly where it wants, and it does so with an exuberance and poignancy that at times feels majestic. full review
Easily the summer's, and probably the year's, most enchanting movie, Up is a buoyant delight. full review
This is a wonderful film. It tells a story. The characters are as believable as any characters can be who spend much of their time floating above the rain forests of Venezuela. full review
The first Pixar film to be made for the Disney Digital 3-D format . and much better than Aliens vs. Monsters . and joy to watch any age .
