Introduction and Up

This blog is where I intend to review movies I have seen, they may be new films just out at the Box Office, or old ones that I wish to comment on.

Up
Now in my view Up was one of the finest movies released in 2009. Despite it being animated it was one film which really affected me in the year. On the face of it, it is about an old man, who has recently lost his wife, who goes on an adventure in his floating house with a young, rotund child, however it turns out to be far more. The first twenty minutes of the film is one of the most moving sequences I think I have seen in film. It continues in a more light-hearted manner but throughout it will move you.

In essence the movie is about two lonely people connnecting over an adventure. Now in my view this is Disney/Pixar's best ever film. Don't get me wrong I love the Toy Story movies,, Finding Nemo, Monster;s Inc. and The Incredibles, but since the old days of The Lion KIng and such like Disney has failed to capture emotion and delight of thse sorts of films. Up is one of the all time Disney greats in my view and when you see it, and I extremely recommend that you do I think you will agree with me.
