Up! is the tenth film from Pixar, and arguably their best yet. 78 year old Carl Fredricksen is a bitter old widower who is being forced out of the house that means the world to him. 8 year old Russell is an enthusiastic 'wilderness explorer' who stows on board Fredricksen's house as he uses helium balloons to tow it away. The story itself is much deeper than your everyday children's film; a touching character study featuring very adult themes such as the depression of growing old, but never ostracizes it's younger audience. The montage scene at the start is one of the best animated scenes to date.
RATING: 8/10 - Enjoyable for both adults and children, a must-see family film
