I commented in another article saying I would love to see an article about UP and sure enough there is already one written. I thought you hit on a lot of big topics from the movie, but what is so great about UP is that it isn't as straight forward as a parable type movie like Cars or something like that. It would have been all too easy for Mr. Frederikson to somehow getting the house back, or having Russel's dad actually step up to his responsibility, but by leaving those typical happy ending elements out, it reveals the beauty that can be found in life as it is.

It was so good. Poignant, if you will. So many layers but easy for a child to enjoy. I slept through Wall-E, (sorry), I know many say it was superb, but I didn't have the connection with it that I did with Up. 100 thumbs up.
