Up

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.
