Up (2009)


Directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Starz)

An old man who has lost his wife decides to take the adventure he had always planned by tying balloons to his house and flying to South America. An overly helpful Boy Scout comes along for the ride. They land on a high plateau where a mad explorer and his talking dogs hunt a rare bird. The old man and Boy Scout befriend the bird and a stray dog, and together must defeat the evil explorer. While the outcome is never in doubt and the group-on-a-trek plot is tiresome, there is enough sentiment to elevate it above the usual animation fare.
