Going the lawn chair one better. In Pixar's stunning 10th animated adventure (the first in 3-D), grumpy 78-year-old widower Carl Fredricksen (Asner), a retired balloon salesman, ties thousands of helium balloons to his house so it will be able to float. Carl wants to fulfill the lifelong dream of his late wife by traveling to Paradise Falls in South America in the footsteps of his discredited explorer hero Charles F. Muntz (Plummer). However, he doesn't expect to have a stowaway--enthusiastic eight-year-old Russell (Nagai), who thinks his experience as a Junior Wilderness Explorer will come in handy. Carl and Russell not only find Muntz but a gawky bird and some talking dogs, an odd-couple friendship, and a lot of action.

I'm not always the biggest fan of animated films, but I absolutely could not believe how great this movie was! It's sad, it's happy, it's mostly funny and it's the BEST animated film I've ever seen! I think it's brilliantly done! Two old men, one child, a bunch of dogs (with one special dog), are most of the story. But the beginning with the (not yet old) old man and his girlfriend/wife set this up beautifully. It's actually a very powerful story - unheard of in animation, as far as I'm concerned. The only part I thought was inappropriate was three dogs flying three planes - without that, the movie's almost believeable!! Whatever you do, make sure you see this movie!! Enjoy!!
