    • Overview

    Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.

Roger Ebert

"This is another masterwork from Pixar, which is leading the charge in modern animation."

The New York Times

Its on-screen and unlikely escape artist is Carl Fredricksen, a widower and former balloon salesman with a square head and a round nose that looks ready for honking.

The Guardian

It's one of its best: touching, funny and graphically exciting.

The Hollywood Reporter

Winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure.

Empire

If it had lived up to its golden first five minutes, Up would have been the film of the decade.

The Critical Movie Critics

With Up, Pixar is clearly showing how far they’ve matured. It’s not just about the cutesy characters anymore, it’s more about the substance of the story and the manner in which it is told.

IMDb

Up is by far the most emotional human drama of any Pixar movies thus far, very heavy, so much so if you're looking for pure fun with no downer moments, Up may not be for you.

Rotten Tomatoes

... a film of whimsy and wonder, mixing Jules Verne imagination with the bubble-gum colors of a children’s picture book...
