In the mood for a cute movie that will make you laugh? How about a touching love story that will move you to tears? Well you can have both in Disney/Pixar’s latest movie, Up. Matt and I, along with our friends Catie and David went to see this movie in 3D yesterday afternoon. I’m sure you’ve seen the previews, but they don’t do the movie justice. It opens with one of the famous Shorts, the best I’ve seen so far, about Storks delivering babies…but that’s all I’m saying, because I sure don’t want to spoil it for you!

Then we get to the actual movie, which opens with a scene of a little boy in an aviator’s hat and goggles watching in awe a documentary about his hero. On the way home, he meets up with a spunky little girl named Ellie, who is also enamored with this same hero. As the movie progresses we get to see how their relationship blooms.

Later on we meet a goofy, kindhearted little boy named Russell, who is a Wilderness Explorer, similar to our Boy Scouts, who is desperate to earn his final patch to make him a Senior Explorer.

We also encounter such crazy characters as Kevin, an enormous multi-colored bird, and Doug, a lovable dog whose master created a collar which allows him to talk.

Long story made slightly shorter, this movie was great! Two thumbs up (eight if you count the others that I saw the movie with)! This is a great family film or just something fun to go see. Don’t waste time, and head to the theater to see in in 3D!
