If it had lived up to its golden first five minutes, Up would have been the film of the decade. As it is, it remains the best animated flick of 2009, a funny, moving, beautifully made argument that dreamers can move mountains.
Top CriticThe creative leadership of the Pixar team restores clarity, simplicity, and courage to storytelling, establishing a daunting gold standard for family films.
Top CriticWhat’s so impressive about Up is that the film-makers never lose sight of their adult concerns.
Top CriticSo fantastically buoyant, so soaring and so universal, that it’s hard to check the urge to get down on one’s knees before the cinema screen and give thanks for the joy of being a moviegoer.
Top CriticIt's an unusual, magical film with which to open an art-house festival.
Top CriticUp is a more more classic piece of entertainment, which cleaves to the Pixar template of being beautifully rendered, emotional and laugh-out-loud adult funny, all the while capturing the naïve charm of old-school Disney.
Top CriticPixar triumphs again with a delirious fantasy that has one leg in the real world of hopes dashed and realised and the other in the cartoon tradition of journeying and adventure.
Top CriticA masterclass in narrative exposition, and the moments explaining their childlessness will bring a lump to your throat.
Top CriticAs in their finest work, the Pixar filmmakers have created thrilling cinema simply by rifling through its history.
Top CriticRarely has any film, let alone an animated one powered by the logic of dream and fantasy, been able to move so successfully -- and so effortlessly -- through so many different kinds of cinematic territory.
Top CriticThis is a wonderful film. It tells a story. The characters are as believable as any characters can be who spend much of their time floating above the rain forests of Venezuela.
Top CriticPixar again raises the bar to wondrous new heights.
Top CriticExtending the patented Pixar mix of humor and heart, Up is the studio's most deeply emotional and affecting work.
Top Critic[Up] 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.
