Up, then down, then Up again. (Also, needles on the ground)





































So after putting this review off for a week, kat finally got me to do it:
UP

After seeing Wall-E, and then Monsters vs. Aliens, I thought no animated movie could ever match Wall-E again. And then I had to be proven wrong, because I can never be right for once.

Up has a funny way of messing with your emotions. First, it'll make you want to curl up and eat ice cream, tanya, and then it'll make you want to have a happygasm (okay, that didn't come out right). The funny thing is, though, you never get that feeling of annoyance or hate towards any of the characters that old school Disney movies will give you. This movie's just too happy for that.
The sad parts are truly sad, and the happy parts are just hilarious, which kind of confuses me, because these people must have Jesus as their writer. The plot devices are just so perfect for some reason. Also, they've managed to make a movie for all ages, instead of just publicizing it as that. It seriously appeals to all audiences, and it has a pure way of doing it. The movie simply tells a general storyline. It isn't too childish, but at the same time, not serious enough to alienate chilluns. It also has nice little easter eggs in there for anyone who has as little a life as me, like the poker playing dogs, and the old guys throwing out their backs. (on a side note, did anyone notice the collaboration Pixar made with the Simpsons? the Simpsons plugged the house from UP, and UP plugged the poker playing dogs.) The jokes are jokes that all ages will get, which really helps.

The story is much to confusing and good to spoil for you, though, so I'll leave it at super amazing omg praise.

Sorry, people, there's too much to review for UP. How about this:
