How does Pixar continue
to do it? 'It' being put out quality films that spring from simple,
straightforward stories that are designed to engage all age groups, aren't
offensive, are entertaining, gorgeous to behold, and don't disappear from your
memory 10 minutes after you exit the theater. With each new release Pixar
manages to best itself even when it seems doing so would be impossibility.
Pixar's ninth film, WALL-E, set the bar high but somehow,
someway, Up manages to top it - a task I
personally never thought they'd be able to accomplish.
We first meet up with
Carl Frederickson as a young boy who dreams of being an adventurer as he
watches newsreel footage of explorer Charles Mints. Carl's quiet and sort of
shy, but his love of Mints leads him to Ellie, a sassy little girl who is as
outgoing as Carl is introverted. They make for a great team and in fact will go
on to share their lives together. From elementary school through high school
and on up into adulthood, Carl and Ellie are inseparable, sharing every moment
of joy and sadness together while dreaming of a time when they can actually
take off on an adventure in the wilds of South America just like their hero, Mints.
But jobs and health issues and whatnot have a way of intruding on dreams, and
Carl and Ellie grow old never having visited the South American jungles. And
then, sadly, Carl becomes a widower with just his lovely little house and his
beautiful memories of Ellie to keep him company.
