**NOTE: I saw the movie at a pre-screening and it was not in 3-D

Disney/Pixar’s latest creation “Up” has all the well defined crisp CGI that is to be expected in a tale of adventure. By tying thousands of balloons to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn’t alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

The film has it’s share of ups and downs (No pun intended), as well as the standard adult jokes that small ones just don’t get. This was one of the more depressing Pixar films in the catalog and in the first 10 minutes you come to realize why 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen is so grumpy, but it does not take away from this story’s spirit of adventure.

The script was well written, the voice actors sold their parts, and the cgi was flawless. All in all it was a, dare i say it, “cute” film and a good one for the whole family to see.
