Up!

2009-06-08 02:49 pm

In detailing all the good things I’ve experienced recently, I forgot to mention Up! Does anyone believe that “Nobody Knows Anything” nowadays? Pixar has made ten films to date, and all of them have grossed over $350 million worldwide (with the exception of Up!, which is too new to know the final figures). Four of them have won Academy awards for best animated feature. I don’t know exactly what Pixar does differently, but they seem to have found a formula for making consistently excellent, highly profitable films.

Up!, like the other Pixar films, is a delight to watch. By turns both funny and sad, the film made me tear up several times. I highly recommend it. My only criticism is that, yet again, a mad scientist is the villain. Thanks Liz and Sean, for the invite to go see it!
