There aren’t many (or at least not enough) live-action movies that are engrossing as this cartoon.
Pixar Studios has gotten to be one of those movie icons that shouldn’t even have to deliver a premise to get funded anymore.
The moneymen should just shut up, hand over the money, and trust they’ll get a product that will appeal to everyone.
“Up” is a winner, and couldn’t be less surprised, anyone still putting a limit on how new and inventive they think a Pixar film can be deserves to have their socks blown off.
This new flick is the work of writers/directors Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, two guys who have each been around the making of Pixar flicks before.
Docter was a director on “Monsters Inc”, a writer on “Toy Story” and a co-writer and director on “Wall*E.” Peterson was a writer on “Finding Nemo”.
Comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America.
But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell.Â
have fun!
