UP on Blu-Ray and DVD

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Pixar’s UP is quite simply a delight. It’s charming, funny, sweet, suspenseful, touching-and because it’s Pixar, it’s got lovable characters. The movie begins with Carl (voice of Ed Asner) as a young boy, worshipping a famous explorer along with his kooky friend Ellie (Ellie Docter, daughter of writer/director Pete Docter). Carl and Ellie dream of one day traveling to Paradise Falls, Venezuela, as they build their dream home and work at the local zoo, Carl as a balloon vendor. In a short but bittersweet silent montage, we see Carl and Ellie’s deep love for each other, especially when they are unable to have children. In the end, Carl outlives Ellie and ends up alone and grumpy.

One day, while defending the mailbox that he and Ellie marked with their handprints, Carl accidentally hurts a construction worker and is told by the court that he needs to go to a nursing home. Instead, Carl releases hundreds of balloons through his chimney, lifting the house up and away. Much to his surprise, he hears a knock on the door and finds Wilderness Explorer Scout Russell, who is trying to earn his Assisting the Elderly badge. After a series of close calls, Carl and Russell land near Paradise Falls, where they discover a talking dog, a colorful bird, and someone potentially dangerous.

I don’t want to give away any more spoilers, except to say that you’ll be surprised how suspenseful it gets, even while you’re hearing hilarious one-liners and looking at eye-popping visuals. And, it has a very happy ending that I promise will put a smile on your face!

I reviewed the UP 4 Disc Combo Pack with Blu-Ray, Digital Copy and DVD, and it is INCREDIBLE. I can hardly believe you can get all that for only $19.99 on Amazon! Both Blu-Ray discs are PACKED with bonus features, and this is a movie your kids (and you too!) will watch again and again.
