Disney/Pixar’s Up has been heralded as their best animated film to-date and I have to say that it really was a great movie. Tomorrow, it’s being released on DVD and Blu-ray and I would recommend picking it up if you haven’t already seen it. It’s a great family flick but it’s good enough that adults will be interested in the story.

In the film, Carl Fredericksen (voice by Ed Asner) is a 78-year-old curmudgeon who, after the death of his wife, sets out to make their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America alone. He rigs thousands of balloons to his house but, after floating away, discovers that he’s got a stowaway on his front porch – Wilderness Explorer Scout, Russell (Jordan Nagai). The boy is trying to earn his Elderly Assistance Badge and he gets more than he bargained for when he makes his way through the tropical jungle with Carl.
Critics also loved this movie with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 98% Fresh rating.
