"UP" - The Adventure Animation

Saw “Up” last week and have had to acknowledge that the opening sequence was incredible & brilliant. Its the silent story of Carl and Ellie’s life. But once the balloon house takes off, the plot gets a little too disney. Near the ending sequence, Carl discovering the back pages of the "My Advantage Book" was also touching. Oh by the way, do you think Carl looks like Class 95 DJ FD(Flying Dutchman)?

A young Carl Fredrickson meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie. They both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. 70 years later, Ellie has died. Carl remembers the promise he made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away. However he has a stowaway aboard. An 8 year old boy named Russell, whose trying to get an assisting the elderly badge. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.
