UP

I went to the movies last night to see Pixar's latest film, UP. What a wonderful experience! If you have the chance to see this, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  

Partly Cloudy is the next Pixar short film directed by Peter Sohn. It’s being shown in theaters before the movie, Up. They did it again. How can they make me laugh and cry in less than 6 minutes?

Variety’s Review of, Up:

"Depending on what you think of Cars, Pixar makes it either 9½ out of 10 or 10 for 10 with Up, a captivating odd-couple adventure that becomes funnier and more exciting as it flies along. A tale of an unlikely journey to uncharted geographic and emotional territory by an old codger and a young explorer could easily have been cloying, but instead proves disarming in its deep reserves of narrative imagination and surprise, as well as its poignant thematic balance of dreams deferred and dreams fulfilled. Lack of overtly fantastical elements might endow Up with a somewhat lower initial must-see factor than some summer releases. But like all of Pixar's features, this one will enjoy a rewardingly long ride in all venues and formats. Pete Docter's picture has the privilege of being the first animated film to open the Cannes Film Festival, on May 13." 

Oh, and to those of you who have already seen the movie, it would take 105,854 balloons to do the job or 1,492,537 cubic feet of helium. Cool!
