Product Description:
Disney Up (Blu-ray)Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seemsto have passed him by, until a twist of fate (anda persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer namedRussell) gives him a new lease on life.
Amazon.com:
At a time when too many animated films consist of anthropomorphized animals cracking sitcom one-liners and flatulence jokes, the warmth, originality, humor, and unflagging imagination of Up feel as welcome as rain in a desert. Carl Fredericksen (voice by Ed Asner) ranks among the most unlikely heroes in recent animation history. A 78- year-old curmudgeon, he enjoyed his modest life as a balloon seller because he shared it with his adventurous wife Ellie (Ellie Docter). But she died, leaving him with memories and the awareness that they never made their dream journey to Paradise Falls in South America. When well-meaning officials consign Carl to Shady Oaks Retirement Home, he rigs thousands of helium balloons to his house and floats to South America. The journey's scarcely begun when he discovers a stowaway: Russell (Jordan Nagai), a chubby, maladroit Wilderness Explorer Scout who's out to earn his Elderly Assistance Badge. In the tropical jungle, Carl and Russell find more than they bargained for: Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer), a crazed explorer whose newsreels once inspired Carl and Ellie; Kevin, an exotic bird with a weakness for chocolate; and Dug (Bob Peterson), an endearingly dim golden retriever fitted with a voice box. More importantly, the travelers discover they need each other: Russell needs a (grand)father figure; Carl needs someone to enliven his life without Ellie. Together, they learn that sharing ice-cream cones and counting the passing cars can be more meaningful than feats of daring-do and distant horizons. Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc. ) and Bob Peterson direct the film with consummate skill and taste, allowing the poignant moments to unfold without dialogue to Michael Giacchnio's vibrant score. Building on their work in The Incredibles and Ratatouille, the Pixar crew offers nuanced animation of the stylized characters. Even by Pixar's elevated standards, Up is an exceptional film that will appeal of audiences of all ages. Rated PG for some peril and action. --Charles Solomon

Well, I decided to see what all the hubbub was about this film, and I can honestly tell you it's not the Oscar masterpiece it is made out to be. Is it entertaining? Of course it is, but it is no ground breaking CG cartoon. It's easy to entertain children with some funny gags, but that's all you have in this film strung together with an over used plot seen in previous Pixar films. I think that it could have been allot better without the annoying ADD chubby Asian kid Russell. I can see having the "comic ... Read More

The first 10 minutes of this movie and the last 5 minutes of this movie are the most touching, romantic, and tear jerking moments in this film. There's also some great metaphors sprinkled throughout the movie, too, especially about learning to let go of the past in order to appreciate the present. I especially liked the scene where all his furniture comes flying out of his house and I took note of how the furniture landed on the ground.
It surprised me that a kid's movie would be so meaningful. ... Read More

This movie is just wonderful. Great simple elegant tale that does not try to be more than it is -- just a great engaging story.
this combo pack of disks are an excellent package
The digital copy I downloaded quite simply from ITunes -- the copy is on my laptop and my I-Touch

the DVD is nice so that if grandaughter wants to watch it in her room (no Blu Ray player) she can go there to watch it.
Great movie packaged ... Read More

I purchased this video based on the shorts that I had seen advertised. This animated film is a wonderful "adult" type of video that demonstrates this medium can convey very touching human emotion that one expects from regular film. The characters both human and non are wonderful and I would recommend it for anyone! My son who 'isn't into animated cartoons' really liked this one.

When I bought this Blu-rey DVD combo, I thought I would have the same options on both discs. Apparently, the Blu-ray version contains all the options (different audio tracks) but the DVD version does not. This was not clear in the Amazon description. If you buy the DVD version alone, it does provide the different language audio tracks. I don't understand why that is not the case for the combo...just be forewarned.
