Synopsis: From Disney•Pixar comes Up, a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons... From Disney•Pixar comes Up, a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. From the Academy Award®-nominated director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.), Disney•Pixar’s Up invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth. UP will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D in select theaters. --© Disney Pixar [More]

By now, with the movie becoming one of the company's greatest successes, many of us are familiar with the story, and how it continues Pixar's incredible streak of great movie experiences.

An instant cartoon classic coming courtesy of a successful collaboration by the good folks at Disney and Pixar.

Up is available in a nifty blu-ray combo pack that gives you a two-disc blu-ray set loaded with extras, a standard DVD of the movie and a digital copy.

Pristine. Immaculate. Pick your own superlative of choice for the Blu-ray picture.

Disney's decision to make a bunch of additional Up behind-the-scenes goodies available only to Blu-ray owners reeks of cruel elitism, but even if this two-disc DVD feels lightweight, the film itself does not.

Up isn't perfect, but it's certainly a step back in the right direction for Pixar.
