Up (not in 3-D thankfully)
So I finally got around to watching this, and I really wasn't sure how Pixar was going to make a movie about an old man flying around in his house as a full on movie. At first glance it seemed like it would be a great idea for one of their pre-movie shorts (btw the pre-movie short for Up is fantastic) not a full on movie.
I was wrong.
This is without a doubt in my mind the funniest, and yet most moving movie that Pixar has made to date. During the opening montage I found myself blinking away tears, Spoiler: I never thought I'd see a miscarriage in an animated picture, yet Pixar makes it have more impact in 30 seconds than most movies do in two hours and yet later on I had tears again because there were several points in the movie that I found so funny I couldn't stop laughing.
I loved the fact that while it was made for kids it didn't talk down to them and assume that the only thing kids will find funny is fart jokes.
This, in my opinion is the very best that Pixar has made to date.
5/5
Oh and on last thing I'd like to comment on is the dogs. Forget every other talking dog movie that has ever come out THIS is what dogs would sound SQUIRREL!!!.... what dogs would sound like if they could talk.
