But Pixar manages to do it and do it beautifully, and as always, the movie can be enjoyed by any age group, not just kids.

After seeing it, I'm pretty sure it's their most progressively enjoyable movie yet (as in, the older you are the more it resonates). I saw it with my family and me and my brother got a little choked up at the beginning (because we had lost grandparents) but my mom was close to bawling (since she lost a parent and the prospect of losing someone is closer).

But yeah, a great movie, although I left feeling like there were some undernourished parts, or maybe I just wanted more Alpha (and thus more talking dogs), that still leaves WALL-E's love story the best offering. Still, definitely worth 9.8 Lumenskir Badges.

PPS: Hands down the best short.

Go see and enjoy one of the best movies about growing old and responsibility to yourself and others.

Loved it. (Short was awesome too.)

Glad that I'm not missing anything with all of these 3-D movies. I'd still like to see one someday. Maybe I should see Up in 3-D.

Up was fantastic. Surprisingly I didn't cry. Which is weird, I cry at everything. I thought the balloons were animated beautifully.

After leaving Up I couldn't help but wonder how Pixar does it again and again when no other movie studio can even come close just once. Maybe I'm just picky, I'm not a big movie lover, but I will always go see a Pixar movie in theaters.

Up was fabulous, absolutely fabulous. Yet another Pixar masterpiece. I'll have to pick this one up too, though DVD or Blu-ray I am not sure.

Wall-E still inches in to my top slot, though, Up is now an easy second.

I saw it tonight. Doug is my favorite by far, but thats cause my family is all dog people. " squirrel!"

This movie actually caused me to nearly cry(As in I actually got some tears, mang).

No such movie has been capable of doing that.

Amazing. Pixar is so timeless. They know how to have really good, innocent humor, while at the same time presenting a really heavy theme.

Squirrel?!

I liked it a lot and as has been said Carl's story was super sad. I just have to whine a little about the fact that the movie seemed to lose dimension with every character added with the exception of Russell. The dynamic of old and young played out quite well but contrasted poorly with the hundred-year-old evil genius explorer and his legion of ~~doom~~ dogs. Alpha and the bird just seemed out of place to me, Alpha mainly for the voice gag and the bird just seemed like overkill to me. <3 me some Dug though.

Also did anyone catch exactly what happened to Russell's dad?

Kevin was central to the plot though, if any of the group of main characters were unnecessary or overkill it would be Dug. (Not saying I disliked him, he's just the least important to the plot of Carl's group.)

Russell's parents are divorced. "Phyllis" is the woman his dad remarried, and Russell rarely sees his dad now.
