Up (With People)

[madbaker]

We watched Up last night. As you may know I refuse to watch Disney animation (it was a vow I made when I was seven years old, out of disgust with what they were doing to books I liked) but Pixar is not Disney. I don't care what the stockholders say.

Anyway, Up was decent. The opening bit was sheer genius; the rest... didn't measure up, much like Wall-E. Although I enjoyed that portion of Up more than Wall-E. On my internal Pixar scale of Finding Nemo and Cars (1) to The Incredibles (10), I'd rate it about the level of Toy Story 2. Wait, there's no Randy Newman in it -- that bumps it up closer to Monsters Inc.

I adore UP, but that's because I'm about 98% kid and spend 80% of my week entertaining, um I mean teaching them, and all the dog things were so spot on, and Russel was a perfect kid. The opening is indeed brilliant and I can't cry without watching it.....it's too close to real life fears for me.
