Up is the tenth animated movie from Disney after Bolt. It offers new story but same values as from Bambi, Beauty and the Beast and other classic films. Up doesn't only focuses on bringing laughs to the audience just like other classic animated movies coming from Disney. I also must take note the short animated clip played before the movie proper, the cloud that produces horrible things.... its actually funnier than the movie... :D
I like the story very much but with less main characters for me, the story is quite short and does not really expose the real side. The story is 40% drama, 30% action and 30% comedy. I like the idea of dogs having a collar that let them speak in human language (Its funny especially when the leader type dog's (Alpha) voice is set into a high pitch)... For me, the dogs do a lot to make the story funny.. I remember this conversation from the story....
Dug: Oh please, oh please, oh please be my prisoner!
Russell: Dug, stop bothering Kevin!
Dug: That man there says I should take the bird
Kevin: [squacks at Dug]
Dug: ...and I love that man there like he is my master.
Fredricksen: I am not your master!
Dug: I am warning you once again, bird!
Russell: Hey! Quit it!
Dug: I am jumping on you now bird!
Fredricksen: Russell, at this rate we'll never get to the falls!
Dug: Here, bird!
Dug wants to take Kevin(the bird) from Russel but because he is gentle (Unlike the other dogs) it makes the attempted hostaging hilarious!!
I can recommend this movie from all ages because it doesn't only offer entertainment but also a good moral values.. ^_^
