I'm very torn in my opinion of Up. On the one hand, like everyone's saying, the first sequence of the film is incredible. I haven't been that touched by a movie in years. The fact that the animators were able to convey such subtle emotions amazes me every time I watch.
On the other hand, I found other parts of the movie to be over-the-top and cartoonish. The boy's voice is very grating to my ears, and a lot of the action sequences felt like they were from the Looney Tunes. There were a few plot twists that made little to no sense. Of course this is a kid's film and that sort of stuff should be expected. But the fact that quality emotional moments were mixed in with sight gags makes it difficult for me to rate.
