Up  (U)  96 mins

A fabulous animation from Pixar.  Carl Fredicksen, a retired balloon salesman, is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an over eager 8-year old Wilderness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time - Carl's front porch! The world's most unlikely duo reach new heights and meet fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together with Russell in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life's biggest adventures aren't the ones you set out for.

"As much fun for kids of the grown-up variety as for the more diminutive kind, Up is a joy from start to finish. Its inspiring message that it's never too late to fulfil your dreams is one that's never been more beautifully told. And who hasn't at one point wished they could have followed Carl's example and escaped their woes and floated off under the canopy of balloons? Up is an appropriate title. It's certainly how you'll feel when you've seen this wondrous treat."  Tiscali UK

"Up is a wonderful film, with characters who are as believable as any characters can be who spend much of their time floating above the rain forests of Venezuela."  Roger Ebert
