Up is a computer-animated adventure film directed by Pete Docter. It was released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2009 and opened the 2009 Cannes Film Festival in France – becoming the first animated film to do so.The main character of the film is a balloon salesman called Carl Fredrickson, who lives with his wife Ellie. One of Ellie’s dreams is to visit Paradise Falls in South America. After Ellie dies, Carl lives alone for many years and eventually he decides to fulfil Ellie’s desire and go to Paradise Falls. It is an amazing adventure and he is joined, unexpectedly, by a young boy. They meet some colourful characters on their journey including Dug, a dog that can speak, and Kevin, a colourful tropical bird. When Carl and his friends meet the evil explorer Charles Muntz, their adventure almost turns into a nightmare.It’s easy to see why Up became the summer blockbuster of 2009. It has a gripping plot and an excellent cast of voice actors. Edward Asner, starring as Carl, gives a very amusing performance. The soundtrack, composed by Michael Giacchino, is also excellent and the film’s graphics really make the characters come alive. Up is an imaginative and touching film that animation fans of all ages are sure to enjoy. It is highly recommended.
