Mike Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Wow, no wonder this was the first animated film to open Cannes Film Festival. Cannes - founded in 1946, is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious film festivals. The private festival is held annually (usually in the month of May) at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, in the resort town of Cannes, in the south of France. UP is a warm and fantastic story that thrills any film critic from age eight to eighty-eight. It opens with the lives of two children with the love for adventure and blossoms into love for one another. The heart of the story is from the very beginning; yet main story centers around the principle characters of Carl and Russell, Carl trying to live up to carrying on in life with an adventure he's always dreamed of taking and Russell's going to help him "across" to earn his final merit badge as a Wilderness Explorer scout. The characters are well drawn out and the story keeps a busy pace. I will easily put this at the top of the Pixar heap with Monsters and Bugs and Race-cars. 9/10!
