I’m not big on animated pictures generally, but I loved Up. Always the skeptic with Hollywood anything, I was pleasantly surprised by this latest Pixar movie.
This is a movie you can take your kids to. The very tender littles may have problems with the dogs which alternate between being humorous and menacing. The story has all the essential elements to draw you in: believable characters, positive family values, a villain, adventure, an unexpected twist, humor and great animation. The movie is in the theaters in both regular and 3-D format.

Never heard of it as I am not an aficionado of animated films. I’ll order it on Netflix and when it’s out on DVD I’ll see it. If you recommend it I am certain it is good. Thanks!

On a visit to see extended family this weekend we indulged in this…my 3 year old was terribly frightened and upset by the dogs, but the 4 and up crowd didn’t notice. I’ll tell you, though, all of us adults cried at the beginning and the end, and I teared up a couple of times in the middle–but then, I’m a horrible softie.

We don’t follow the latest films because we don’t watch too many contemporary ones but Kristin saw this and recommended it, too.
